It's like it should be.

If you still want to fight with your postgres, here is content of my
(it's default) postgresql.env:
>>BEGIN<<
[ -r /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf ] &&
. /etc/postgresql/postmaster.conf
PGDATA=${POSTGRES_DATA:-/var/lib/postgres/data}
PGLIB=/usr/lib/postgresql/lib
PGACCESS_HOME=/usr/lib/postgresql/share/pgaccess
PGHOST=
export PGLIB PGDATA PGACCESS_HOME PGHOST
>>END<<
I think you should just reinstall postgres from .deb package as said Tom
Lane. I had never troubles like yours with default .deb package.

Psql works also as root, but you should run it as postgres for security
reason.
