I'm inclined to add a rule to "make distclean" to clean this out.

That seems extremely odd.

There are all of the files in the tarball that contain the string
'postgres'; the file you're referring to isn't there at all.  That
smells like a file that CVS would leave lying around locally; could
you have extracted the sources into a not-fresh directory?

I'll look back at Peter Eisentraut's permission complaints, too, and
see about a "make distclean" rule to fix this.

If you see more borken permissions, I'd appreciate if you bounce them
to the list (whether -general or -bugs, I don't care); if I catch the
issues multiple times, that's not a bad thing.
