Upgrading PostgreSQL 9.4 from beta 2 to beta 3 on Debian.
While doing “apt-get dist-upgrade” Debian required me to dump and re-import my postgresql cluster. The file format has changed.
Okay, it's a beta. But if the scripts detect what has do be done. Why don't they just do it for me?
Especially I have to problem, that since I did the conversion, postgreSQL isn't starting automatically anymore. I have to use “pg_ctlcluster” to start my database cluster.
I did not fix it myself. It works for me at the moment, and I hope that Debian is fixing the problem soon anyway.

Probably because this kind of thing might happen:

And there might be other reasons, probably :)
Well I noticed after my system restarted the PostgreSQL cluster started automatically.
I don't understand why it neither starts using "/etc/init.d/postgresql start" nor with "service postgresql start".
I really should get familar how the system starts since we're using systemd.
