I am reasonably certain that the reason "postgres" is not on the path is
because the package supplies various "cluster-managing" versions (wrappers)
of (over) the executables that are intended to be run instead. If you
choose to forgo those wrappers and do things directly you are expected to
be able to manage the necessary changes to make that work.
