Should mostly be harmless as long as "man postmaster" does the right
thing afterwards (i. e. is for 9.2), but out of interest, which
postgresql-common version do you have installed. There were some fixes
for managing the alternatives a while ago:

postgresql-common (135) experimental; urgency=low
[...]
  * debian/maintscripts-functions: Configure alternatives for manpages in
    -contrib. This will only take effect after (re)installing
    postgresql-contrib-9.2. (Closes: #680571)

And also:

postgresql-common (141) experimental; urgency=low
[...]
  * debian/maintscripts-functions: Fix configure_client_version to call
    _link_manpages correctly, spotted by Kris Shannon. (Closes: #701602)

Can you please do

  dpkg -l postgresql-common

to check the version?

Thanks,

Martin
