Upgraded from standard Debian repos.

Nothing else was changed other than the binaries.
It appears that the prior version obtained postgresql.conf from the
PGDATA path whilst the 9.6.2-2 looked in the Postgres /etc paths where
it tried to use the conf file, and as a consequence, the autovacuum
daemon was not started.
I removed the Postgres /etc conf file and as it didn't find one there,
fell back to the PGDATA path and all is well.

I'm quite happy with the standard /etc/postgresql/major_version/main
method of installation. It means you can run different major versions
on the same box.


Cheers,
