Ok, that didn't seem obvious to me. I envisioned the lsmb user to be 
separate from the db user. I now understand that lsmb sits on top of 
postgresql users.

perl tools/drop-roles.pl --company=lsmb14 --postgres_username=SuperUser

Ok, just went with xedemo. When installing, it helps to have a blurb that 
tells you why you might choose one option over another. For country code 
that was obvious, for templates, not so much.
