The package files are here:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/postgresql-8.1

you can find the patch Debian applies following a link below (the
diff.gz), on which you see the method for doing this.

ISTM these parts of that patch should be applied to our code:

+--- postgresql-8.1beta3-old/src/bin/pg_controldata/pg_controldata.c    2005-10-03 02:28:41.000000000 +0200

+-  set_pglocale_pgservice(argv[0], "pg_controldata");
