This seems like a nice idea -
It might even be worth targeting a couple pf specific "ranges" - e.g : machines with 1G RAM and 4G RAM ( "medium" are "large" come to mind, I know it's a bit like that "other" database product we know of.... but that doesn't mean it's necessarily bad!)

I'm strongly in favour of distribution postresql.conf-large as well, with much higher settings for SCSI, 1GM RAM machines, say. This is exactly as MySQL does it and I think it's a great idea.
At least then an admin will notice the file there and say to themselves "I wonder what I need to do to configure for a big server, i guess that implies that this default postgresql.conf won't perform very well"...
