The result is exactly the same, here...

test=# create role testrole superuser;
CREATE ROLE
test=# \du
                               List of roles
 Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | Member of
-----------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+-----------
testrole  | yes       | no          | no        | no limit    |
test=# alter role testrole nosuperuser;
ALTER ROLE
test=# \du
                               List of roles
 Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | Member of
-----------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+-----------
testrole  | no        | no          | no        | no limit    |


So a superuser which has not been explicitly created with "createuser"
and "create DB" privileges will become a no privilege while losing the
status superuser.

If created with the Unix command createuser, he won't.
