Postgres.app: packaged binaries and app must be moved to /Applications #12857

I've been looking into the Postgres cask.
On every run, it prompts to move itself to /Applications; if not, it quits itself. I've tried postflight do suppress_move_to_applications but it does nothing to this prompt. What should be done?
In addition, many binaries are packaged in Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin (in the latest version), so many that it would be ugly (but possible) to binary all of them in the cask. The official guides suggest adding this directory to the PATH. Is this possible?

The current model is broken and there are plans to fix it. I’ll close this issue, but keep track of it in another one.

As for adding a directory to PATH, I’d be wary of that. We shouldn’t really be imposing that on users. There is a nice solution that is minimally intrusive, but it appears to not work (by default) with zsh.
