So that is what the postgresql-common new packages contained. I have not 
used them for installing a new server version since the changes. Yes 
they indeed do not create a new cluster when any other Postgres clusters 
of any flavor exist. You have to resort to manually doing:

sudo pg_createcluster 17 main --start

It would have been nice if the packagers had mentioned that change 
somewhere else then as comments in the source.
