[SAC] PostgreSQL on OSGeo6

I was about to install Drone on OSGeo6 when I found the PostgreSQL
server in a weird state: package is installed but service status
is in "active (exited)" state. Looking around I found this is possibly
fixed by upgrading the service, but I'm wondering who installed it
in the first place and what else is waiting for it to work before
enabling something.

Anyone knows ?
The wiki page [1] doesn't not mention a PostgreSQL service so maybe I can
decide what to do about it independently ...

I think the package installed on that system is just bogus, and
it's coming from the postgresql packages:

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ jessie-pgdg main

Is there any reason why we want those packages ?
Official Debian package has PostgreSQL 9.4, do we really need 9.6
for anything ? Given the service is not even running I'd think no...

Nevermind, I ended up creating a cluster, absence of which
determined the problem with the service. So say hello
to PostgreSQL 9.6 on OSgeo6 host. Wiki section added.
