The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 6151
Logged by: Christoph Anton Mitterer
Email address: calestyo@scientia.net
PostgreSQL version: 9.0
Operating system: Debian sid
Description: documentation claims that default value for log_timezone
is "unknown"
Details:

The documentation tells
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/runtime-config-logging.html#GUC-L
OG-TIMEZONE) that the default for log_timezone is "unknown".
It seems however that this is rather "localtime".

(This possibly also appears in the default postgres.conf)

Cheers,
Chris.

That is technically correct, if not terribly helpful, in existing
releases. 9.1 will be a bit cleaner in this regard, see
