Sigh, here we go again. I don't think you can disable postgresql.auto.conf
in the current code. As I recall, the argument was that it's harder to
diagnose problems if postgresql.auto.conf takes effect in some system
but not others.
I think if you want puppet or chef etc you'd add postgresql.auto.conf as
a config file in those systems, so that ALTER SYSTEM is reflected there.
