The upstream initdb default is still 'trust', but everyone agrees that
it's good that distributions are changing that so something more
secure, so we are already disconnected from the "true" default here.

We can move the Debian packages to scram as well, if that helps.
I just haven't done that yet because I haven't read up on how a
migration plan should look.
