You cut some important context from your quote:

| Due to this default cluster, an immediate attempt to upgrade an
| earlier 'main' cluster to a new version will fail and you need to
| remove the newer default cluster first. E. g., if you have
| postgresql-9.1 installed and want to upgrade to 9.3, you first install
| postgresql-9.3:

Nonetheless, we will update this example.

Thanks for the witty reminder.
