This is a small PR to expose only the underlying postgresql_15 package. It turns out that postgresql in nixpkgs are already built with debug symbols enabled, but in a separate directory which is considered the best practice.
To access these symbols you can run
nix build .#postgresql_15.debug && nix derivation show .#postgresql_15.debug | jq -r '.[].env.debug' /nix/store/pxx1mdvxdq932km87a8d8q4nqvadpspy-postgresql-15.6-debugThen use
/nix/store/<yourpath>-postgresql-15.6-debugin your debugger and these will be the corresponding debug symbols for the current version of postgresql_15this same method will work going forward with our own packaging of postgresql as well.
