aclcontains is still there but makeaclitem's signature has changed:
8.0.5
test=> \df makeaclitem|aclcontains
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types
------------+-------------+------------------+------------------------------------------
pg_catalog | aclcontains | boolean | aclitem[], aclitem
pg_catalog | makeaclitem | aclitem | integer, integer, integer, text,
boolean
(2 rows)
8.1.1
test=> \df makeaclitem|aclcontains
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types
------------+-------------+------------------+-------------------------
pg_catalog | aclcontains | boolean | aclitem[], aclitem
pg_catalog | makeaclitem | aclitem | oid, oid, text, boolean
(2 rows)
For examples look at standard views that use makeaclitem:
SELECT * FROM pg_views WHERE definition ~* 'makeaclitem';
