Good question --- the full text is:

<listitem>
<para>
Record and check the collation of each <link
linkend="sql-createdatabase">database</link> (Peter Eisentraut)
</para>

<para>
This is designed to detect collation
mismatches to avoid data corruption. Function
<function>pg_database_collation_actual_version()</function>
reports the underlying operating system collation version, and
<command>ALTER DATABASE ... REFRESH</command> sets the database
to match the operating system collation version. DETAILS?
</para>
</listitem>

I just can't figure out what the user needs to understand about this,
and I understand very little of it.
