Yes, thanks for the hint. The commit which apparently introduced the change is https://salsa.debian.org/postgresql/postgresql-common/-/commit/d9139f7777a42a39b5b6fabbffc9f020fad4dce5: "debian/maintscripts-functions: Create "main" cluster only when no other clusters exist yet."
Maybe I'm going to ask on the pgsql-pkg-debian mailing list for more details about it, as proposed by Laurenz.
@Adrian, please note that I'm not the one who asked on Stack Overflow, so I'm not cross posting over here. And I definitely am doing an "alongside" installation of two major versions: On my server is installed v16, and now I'm adding v17, as described in my first message.
So that is what the postgresql-common new packages contained. I have not
used them for installing a new server version since the changes. Yes
they indeed do not create a new cluster when any other Postgres clusters
of any flavor exist. You have to resort to manually doing:
sudo pg_createcluster 17 main --start
It would have been nice if the packagers had mentioned that change
somewhere else then as comments in the source.
Thanks again to everybody for your help.
Andy
