To be exact: The *old* Debian strategy.  Debconf in Potato (2.2) does
a great job and will be even better in the future.  There exist's also
an project called FAI, which enables fully automatical install.

No intention to start a distribution flamewar, just to serve some
facts, which I have to while being a Debian maintainer ;-).
Just use your favourite distribution and have fun with the nice
PostgreSQL server.

Kind regards
