This just means that the directory /home/postgres wasn't created
during installation. I don't think that's a huge problem, though you
may want to let the package maintainer about that. Despite that
message, you should be logged it as "postgres" and should be able to
begin creating databases.

Ubuntu != Debian. :) It's based on it, but the package repositories
are different. So, some advice you read online for Ubuntu may apply
to straight Debian, but some may not. In Ubuntu, the "postgresql"
package is a meta-package, pointing to the latest version (at this
time, "postgresql-8.4" - Ubuntu can be slow to roll to new major
versions).
