Keep none, drop all and rebuild them. As far as i checked, all rpm packages,
be it for Susi 11 or Susi Factory, they all build on the same spec.
But beforehand it has to be checked, whether the packages work on the
the other distributions excluding mandriva. But also when they work,
the setup of postgresql (esp. pg_ident.conf) should be revised
and only the necessary entries should be kept, as discussed with carsten.
You can see from the diff on the last message, that from all the changes
to postgresql only one is really needed.
