We copy default configs for the old PG version during the update. Upstream changes disabled main cluster creation for old PG versions if a newer one exists so the old configs are no longer generated. To work around this, we can invoke pg_createcluster. See https://salsa.debian.org/postgresql/postgresql-common/-/commit/d9139f7777a42a39b5b6fabbffc9f020fad4dce5
