This statement is not entirely accurate. Although I agree it is a good idea to have a separate named database for each "application"pg_dumpall does not add a "CREATE DATABASE postgres;" to the dump file because pg_restore expects that the postgres database already exists. However, all objects in the postgres database are dumped and will be restored. This can be verified because you can do a "grep 'connect postgres' <your_pg_dump_file" and it will be found, as are any object in the postgres database..
