I'd recommend setting LANG/LC_xxx directly in the script you use to fire
up the postmaster. This ensures it will be right no matter whether the
postmaster is launched by a boot script, by hand by someone logged in as
pgsql, by hand by someone su'd from another account with different
locale, yadda yadda.
