I am aware of this problem and it is a consequence of the fact that
corosync and pacemaker start in configured state on Debian while on
RHEL they are unconfigured and disabled after installation.

The plan was to add a README file to the package explaining the
required steps to initialize the cluster using pcs.  I don't
think that touching the configuration and state of another
package is a good idea here and would need to discuss this with
the maintainers of corosync/pacemaker as installing pcs might
influence the correct operations of a working cluster.
