Using this BOSH Release

Note: This BOSH release is not intended to stand on its own. It exists to augment the shield-agent job of the SHIELD BOSH Release, and only in cases where the psql / pg_dump* utilities are missing.

To colocate this BOSH release with your shield-agent instance group, just add a new job to the group:

instance_groups:
  - name: whatever
    jobs:
      # ...
      - name:    shield-addon-postgres-9.6
        release: shield-addon-postgres

That's really all there is to it.
