It's probably because the postinst script failed.  You should have a 
/etc/init.d/postgresql file, with the following symbolic links to it:

/etc/rc0.d/K20postgresql  /etc/rc3.d/S20postgresql  /etc/rc6.d/K20postgresql
/etc/rc1.d/K20postgresql  /etc/rc4.d/S20postgresql
/etc/rc2.d/S20postgresql  /etc/rc5.d/S20postgresql
