On Debian, apt-get install postgresql installs the postgres database/user and starts the service. If you are distributing a client app (I am) and you only want to provide the user with the psql executable (I do), then you have the client install postgresql-client. With guix, it looks like guix package -i postgresql does not by default create a database/user and start the service, but does provide the psql executable. Maybe I can provide the postgresql package without having to worry about polluting the users desktop with db/user/service. That would make postgresql-client redundant. That is my current thinking. Correct me if I am wrong.
