The default is (currently) only used if no PostgreSQL version is already=20
installed. So, it shouldn't be a problem here. In the second step (where=20
both versions could be installed at the same time) it selects the one being =

used.
I also forgot the mention one variable:

PGSQL_VERSION_REQD
A package-settable variable set the required PostgreSQL version.
