Bug description:
  Upstream will push out new microreleases tomorrow after a pretty
  severe regression in the previous rounds of updates:

  https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/May_2015_Fsync_Permissions_Bug#I.27ve_hit_this_bug_and_I_can.27t_restart_Postgres._What_do_I_do.3F

  This particularly affects 9.1 due to the way we handle SSL
  certificates, i. e. Ubuntu 12.04. Later releases are much less
  affected as we don't have to symlink the certificate there any more.

  SRU TEST CASE:

    * install postgresql-9.1
    * pkill -SEGV postgres
    * service postgresql start

  With 9.1.16 this will fail with

  The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:
  2015-06-03 09:16:35 CEST LOG:  database system was interrupted; last known up at 2015-06-03 09:15:27 CEST
  2015-06-03 09:16:35 CEST FATAL:  could not open file "/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key": Permission denied
  2015-06-03 09:16:35 CEST LOG:  startup process (PID 10527) exited with exit code 1
  2015-06-03 09:16:35 CEST LOG:  aborting startup due to startup process failure

  With 9.1.17 (or earlier versions than 9.1.16) this should succeed.
