It's not mentioned in our current metapackage. I would go for a
libpq4-based php-pgsql if possible.

Probably not tied to initdb - service init is the right time to assess
physical RAM, copes with HW changes that may happen between boots, and
also allows us to deploy new versions of the template files.

Nothing too special here :-) - it's a F7 system that aims to be as
"appliance-like" as possible.
