From INSTALL:
...
       Client-only installation: If you want to install only the client
       applications and interface libraries, then you can use these
       commands:
gmake -C src/bin install
gmake -C src/include install
gmake -C src/interfaces install
gmake -C doc install
...

src/bin has pg_ctl et al. Maybe encourage is a strong word... ;-)

Just moving pg_ctl to the server package and let the server package depend
on libpq.so.5 should help in this case, I guess...
