If we're going to do this, I think we need to account for all of the
files in the directory including PG_VERSION, postmaster.opts,
postmaster.pid. In the end if we can't build so that we are either fully
FHS compliant and/or LSB compliant, we've not done enough work on it.

PG_VERSIONis VERY important, it is how you know the version of the database.<br /> Postmaster.pid is a postgres
writablevalue <br /> AFAIK, postmaster.opts is also a postgres writable value.<br />
