If that is true, the documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/runtime-config-autovacuum.html should be updated:

autovacuum (boolean)
Controls whether the server should start the autovacuum subprocess. This is off by default. stats_start_collector and stats_row_level must also be on for this to start. This option can only be set at server start or in the postgresql.conf file.
