Creating new cluster 9.5/main ...

It looks like the installation scripts "fixed" or "worked around" this.
I don't think I am the first one to get it, though.

This issue is known and being worked on.  It's only a deprecation
warning, so you can ignore it for now.

Furthermore, it's not even a bug in PostgreSQL, it's a warning from
pam_getenv which is used in the setup scripts.
