IIRC, when you install it via apt-get it should be set to start
automatically - I could be wrong, it's been a while.

To check whether this is the case, look in the appropriate /etc/rc*.d
directory for the runlevel you're using, and see if there is an "S...."
symlink to /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 (or something like that) in there.
