If that is true, the documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/runtime-config-autovacuum.html
should be updated:

autovacuum (boolean)
Controls whether the server should start the autovacuum
subprocess. This is off by default. stats_start_collector
and stats_row_level must
also be on for this to start. This option can only be set at server start
or in the postgresql.conf
file.
