You seem to want us to adjust the community documentation to match
someone's packaging of Postgres. We can't really track every random
decision that packagers make; and if we tried, then the documentation
would be inaccurate for installations built directly from source.
Really, best practice for a packager who is modifying the default
configuration like this is to also modify the copy of the documentation
they ship, or at least make it very plain in a README file how their
installation differs from the out-of-the-box defaults.
In short, I think you've got a complaint for your packager here,
not one for the PG community.
regards, tom lane
