I don't know when he asked the Postgres devs but since I've been using Postgres (2007ish I guess?) PG has been part of Debian and could be installed via the pac

  Exactly. Installing postgres on any Debian system is a one line "apt-get install". The only part that might be considered complicated is if you want to open up the server to non-local network traffic as you have to edit both the pg_hba.conf and change the listen address in postgresql.conf. It's like that so that it is secure by default. Anyone who thinks that's too complicated doesn't understand what that means or why it's important.

  It's clearly a story that got garbled somewhere in the telling, but it's hard to guess at what the original problem could have been. I'm pretty sure Postgres has been included in all Debian releases from this millennium.
