No, this sounds fine.

I'm doing this all the time, and the test suite does a lot of that. As
I said, the problem might lay in a particular way of configuring the
ports, only listening to particular interfaces, not having an Unix
socket or having it in a wrong directory, etc. Therefore it is not
easy to reproduce, and thus I asked for your postgresql.conf.

That's the current standard practice of Debian packages, though.
