Hi Tomas,

the Debian pgbouncer package has always been using the postgres user:

$ grep USER debian/init
RUNASUSER="postgres"
    $SSD --start --chuid $RUNASUSER --oknodo -- $OPTS 2> /dev/null
        su -c "$DAEMON -R $OPTS 2> /dev/null" - ${RUNASUSER%:*}

Maybe you were editing the init.d or defaults file before?

>              1.17.0-3.pgdg20.04+1)

The effective change between these versions is that we are now
shipping a .service file.
