python-psycopg2 is there, but not php-pgsql. The question is: Is
php-pgsql already in OLPC package set? If yes, we have compat packages
to satisfy dependencies. If not, I can give it a shot.

Maybe we can solve this issue during initdb process, and copy the
preconfigured config file based on the memory to data directory after we
run initdb.

BTW... I must admit that I did not work for OLPC project before, so I
don't know how to do things.
