And for those of you who may have the same issue:
Running
# /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 autovac-restart
* Restarting PostgreSQL 8.3 autovacuum daemon
Results in:
* Error: PostgreSQL 8.1 and above has an integrated autovacuum daemon which cannot be controlled by this program.
Looks like /etc/cron.d/postgresql-common
# Run VACUUM ANALYSE on all databases every 5 hours if pg_autovacuum is not
# running
2 0,5,10,15,20 * * 1-6 root if [ -x /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance ]; then /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance --analyze >/dev/null; fi
Is deprecated for postgresql versions 8.1 and higher and needs to be commented out by default in those packages.
The same error message appears on start-up
( incomplete startup packet)
but I could not figure out where in /usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions the pg_maintenance script was being called.
Additionally,
Running:
#/sbin/pg_maintenance --analyze
results in:
Skipping cluster 8.3/main since autovacuuming is enabled for it
and the subsequent:

in /postgresql-8.3-main.log
Running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, with postgresql-8-3, postgresql-client-8.3, postgresql-common - standard Ubuntu stable postgresql package. The same error occurs on a system with postgresql-8-2. Both boxes are also running python-psycopg2. Connections limited to localhost. Nothing monitoring or scanning port 5432 at a 5 hour interval.
I'm get the following error in the logs at startup and at the exact interval that -x /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance ]; then /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance --analyze appears to run in cron:

This seems like a missed configuration option -- but I'm not sure where. Any ideas?
Thanks,
