what is a "default database"?
you have to install whatever a software requires!

from the view of usability postgresql is crap for the
ordinary user in a long term - i am working with MySQL
since lobger than 10 years starting with 3.x and there
was NEVER a need to dump/restore data due upgrades,
not for minor and not for major-upgrades, the "mysql" db
with the users and permissions is the one installed many
years ago and the who db-folders are moved around Windows,
MacOSX, Linux over the years and i am speaking here mostly
from production servers as also development workstations

have fun doing the same with postgresql and explain your
users why things are broken after the next dist-upgrade
