[Pkg-postgresql-public] Bug#810730: postgresql-common: should offer automatic cluster upgrading when installing a new major version

[Felipe Sateler]

Package: postgresql-common
Version: 172
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Today while installing 9.5, I got presented with the
postgresql-common/obsolete-major debconf prompt. I think it would be
great if it could automatically do the pg_updatecluster dance when
upgrading. At least for simple (default) setups (ie, only the
$version-main cluster).

Thanks.
