okay, i have a suspicion :)

take a look at the code from the postinst script:


# source dbconfig-common shell library, and call the hook function
if [ -f /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/config.pgsql ]; then
    . /usr/share/dbconfig-common/dpkg/config.pgsql
    dbc_go ${PKG} $@
fi


i think an s/config/postinst/ there should do the trick :)  similarly
you should change the other maintainer scripts as well, so that the hook
script being sourced is always the right one for the right maintainer
script.

also, in case it's helpful later for other debugging, if you export
dbc_debug=1 you can get a bit of information logged to the console about
what dbconfig is doing.   some day i'll bring in more full-fledged
logging capabilities...  anyway, in this case i saw that the postinst
code wasn't being activated, which is what alerted my suspicion.
