On Red Hat, it is not packaged at all (at least not by me), and won't
be unless it goes into contrib.  I don't believe it belongs in the
base package.

Also, it's not going to get packaged at all unless it gets renamed to
something less generic, maybe pg_test_fsync; I'm not going to risk the
oppobrium of sticking something named "test_fsync" into /usr/bin.
Moving to contrib would be a good opportunity to fix the name.
