Tom, I guess I don't understand the point of having a different pg_config.h in my user/include/postgresql directory than the postgresql server that I am running. You mentioned building client code that would reference the pg_config.h in user/include/postgresql. A couple of questions:
What type of client code are you referring to?
What is the point of having a pg_config.h for a server that I am not even running?

I would not recommend that: it's likely to break code that's expecting the Ubuntu-standard layout. I think your best course is to adapt the particular package you're having trouble with to work with that layout. Maybe contact its author for help?
