Turns out "core-updates" is still configured to build the "core" subset,
I don't really understand why the evaluation 74281 triggered the build
of so many packages.

Regarding the sqlite3 -> psql transition, there are not that much
differences. I fire up psql this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sudo -u cuirass -s /bin/sh -c 'psql cuirass -h /var/run/postgresql'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The commands that are listed here[1] are still (mostly) relevant, even
if this document would really need to be updated. I plan to improve the
Cuirass documentation for a future 1.0 release anyways.

Thanks,

Mathieu
