Hello,

Somehow I missed the email changing the status of this back
to "needs review".

Buried in
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20230107165942.748ccf4e%40slate.karlpinc.com
is the one change I see that should be made.

This line needs to be removed and the
0002-Don-t-install-postmaster-symlink-anymore.patch 
updated.  (Unless there's some magic going on
with the various allfiles.sgml files of which I am
not aware.)

If this is fixed I see no other problems.
