Are they both in the same location?
I'm going to say you used a Debian/Ubuntu package correct?

That is the log file set up by the packaging system.

My guess is either:
1) You are running a Debian style package and went into postgresql.conf
and changed the log settings so you are not using the package logging.
or
2) You have/had a Debian package installed and you did a source(or other
install) and you have two logs as a result.
I think it would be a good idea to investigate further for no other
reason than ensure that you really do not have competing systems at
work. Might save you some headaches down the road.

Another reason to verify what is going on.
