The docs say: Messages printed to syslog use the log facility LOG_LOCAL0.
You need to configure syslogd to send those messages to postgresql; edit
/etc/syslog.conf (see the man page for syslogd and syslog.conf) to
contain something like:
local0.* -/var/log/postgresql
You may want to change this to be more selective...
