BUG: postgresql8 can not start at system startup via provided instrux

Description
the instructions given after installing postgresql with the 'server' variant say:
To activate the PostgreSQL8 server, add POSTGRESQL8=-YES- to your /opt/local/etc/rc.conf
however, that does not work. the StartupItem created in /Library/StartupItems/postgresql8 contains:
#!/bin/sh # # DarwinPorts generated StartupItem #
. /etc/rc.common
PGCTL=/opt/local/lib/pgsql8/bin/pg_ctl
StartService () [then continues with body of method etc]
.. it never sources /opt/local/etc/rc.conf and thus it does not work. manually adding ". /opt/local/etc/ rc.conf" to the file does allow postgresql8 to start wtih the system.

as darwinports 1.2 is out, I assume this problem is fixed for you - if it is not, please re-open this bug!
this is a known bug that is fixed in port 1.2;
