Certainly the PQconndefaults function specifies Debug flag for the "options" 
option.
I think that eliminating the Debug flag is the simplest solution. 
For attached patches, GUC can be specified with the following syntax.

CREATE SERVER remsvr1 FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw OPTIONS (host 'host 1', 
..., options '-c work_mem=64MB -c geqo=off');
ALTER SERVER remsv11 OPTIONS (SET options '-c work_mem=64MB -c geqo=off');

However, I am afraid of the effect that this patch will change the behavior of 
official API PQconndefaults.

Best Regards,
Noriyoshi Shinoda

We already have a method for libpq applications to pass GUC settings via 
connection parameters.  And postgres_fdw supports passing libpq connection 
parameters as server options.  So why doesn't this work here?

The reason is that postgres_fdw filters out connection settings that are marked 
debug ("D"), and the "options" keyword is marked as such.  I think this is 
wrong.  Just remove that designation and then this will work.  (Perhaps 
filtering out the debug options is also wrong, but I can see an argument for 
it.)
