That should have been done by the postinst script; why did you find it
necessary?
I consider the package in testing to be very buggy; unfortunately
I can't get 7.1.3-4 into testing (I think because of an RC bug
on libssl-dev). The bug you have is fixed in the unstable version,
which you should install in preference to 7.1release-4.
A quick workaround is to edit /etc/postgresql/postgresql.env
and insert these contents (possibly with modifications for your own
setup):
======================================================================
# postgresql debian package
#
# This section is supplied as part of the Debian package for PostgreSQL.
# It sets the environment for an ordinary user of PostgreSQL and should
# be executed by the .profile or equivalent for the postgres administrator
#
# It is automatically read by all six frontend programs (in the
# postgresql-client package).
[ -r /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf ] &&
. /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf
PGDATA=${POSTGRES_DATA:-/var/lib/postgres/data}
PGLIB=/usr/lib/postgresql/lib
PGACCESS_HOME=/usr/lib/postgresql/share/pgaccess
PGHOST=
export PGLIB PGDATA PGACCESS_HOME PGHOST
=======================================================================

If the hostname is "localhost" you must make sure that PostgreSQL is
started with the "-i" option (to allow TCP/IP connections). This is
off by default. You may also need to edit /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf
to install the correct access policy. If the hostname is blank,
PostgreSQL will use a UNIX socket connection instead.

or if you are trying to connect with TCP/IP when the postmaster isn't
configured to accept it?
