Nod.

I was thinking about putting something like ^postgresql-.*$VERSION in
the config file when a $VERSION cluster is created, and removing that
once the last $VERSION cluster is removed. That would always keep the
local databases running, and would also enable cleanup once they got
upgraded.

The place to put this would be postgresql-$VERSION.postinst,
pg_createcluster, and/or the init script for creation, and
pg_dropcluster and/or the initscript for removal. (Maybe another call
in *.postinst.)

Too much magic, too complicated? Or the right way to go?
