Ubuntu does not use the standard pg_ctl for postgreSQL. Instead, it uses

That in turn controls the different PostgreSQL clusters. When you do an
install of a new cluster, pg_ctlcluster is smart enough to put
postgresql.conf & pg_hba.conf into separate dirs.
So to be specific, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/postgresql.conf is just a tmp
file that you can ingnore, /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf is
the original version for the 9.4 cluster and

No, it is the actual conf file for the cluster.

/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.auto.conf is the actual, live
version of the 9.4 cluster that you need to change to affect the 9.4
cluster. Likewise for the pg_hba.conf.

No, as you can see if look in the file:

# Do not edit this file manually!
# It will be overwritten by the ALTER SYSTEM command.

There is no pg_hba.conf file in /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/ it is in
/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/

/etc/postgresql/* is where configuration is done, with the exception of those done through ALTER SYSTEM, which are persisted in postgresql.auto.conf.

    In Ubuntu 14.10, there are three variations of the postgresql.conf
    configuration file, as follows:

    /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.auto.conf
    /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/postgresql.conf
    /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf

    What is the difference between these files and which is the correct
    one to change for modifying the configurations contained therein?
