It is matter of finding out what is setting?:

source          | override

There is something different about your setup, as here on Ubuntu(which 
uses the Debian packaging) I see:

select * from pg_settings where name like '%k_cou%';

-[ RECORD 1 ]---+---------------------------------------------------
name            | track_counts
setting         | on
unit            | NULL
category        | Statistics / Cumulative Query and Index Statistics
short_desc      | Collects statistics on database activity.
extra_desc      | NULL
context         | superuser
vartype         | bool
source          | default
min_val         | NULL
max_val         | NULL
enumvals        | NULL
boot_val        | on
reset_val       | on
sourcefile      | NULL
sourceline      | NULL
pending_restart | f
