Unknown lvalue 'PIDFILE' in section 'Service'

    Hi

    
    Today I installed postgresql 9.4 on Lubuntu 15.04 from the
    EnterpriseDB's package.

    
    I modified pg_hba.conf to accept connections from the local network,
    and tried to start the backend. It do not; looking the log, I can
    see the message I copied to the subject. The full log entry is [/lib/systemd/system/postgresql-9.4.service:12]
      Unknown lvalue 'PIDFILE' in section 'Service'

    
    But the corresponding entry in
    /lib/systemd/system/postgresql-9.4.service shows PIDFILE=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.4/data/postmaster.pid which is perfectly valid, because the 

        data dir is Environment=PGDATA=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.4/data

      
    What is going wrong?

    
    TIA
