Yes, it does it automatically. But there is a bit of confusion - the
'postgresql' service will initdb in a different location to the
'pgsql-xs' service.

So don't initdb postgresql. Instead, do

   service pgsql-xs initdb

Clearly, that's what we have to address.

That is not mornal. You should see quite a few more files&dirs in there.

that is completely bizarre. How about

   rm -fr /library/pgsql-xs/*
   service pgsql-xs initdb
   service pgsql-xs start

does it succeed?
