I see your point. In every other case, when you see a setting and value
in postgresql.conf, the value is the _default_. However in this case:

#include_dir = 'conf.d'

'conf.d' is not the default, and you have to remove the comment to use
'conf.d' as a configuration directory.

This is not mentioned in the docs. However, I think the problem is not
the docs, but rather postgresql.conf.sample. The attached patch fixes
this, and I assume it should be backpatched, based on previous
discussions of backpatching this file.
