As an update, I found out what the issue is:
/var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main/postmaster.opts
Overrides the options in /etc/postgresql/8.1/main/postgresql.conf -
including the data_directory directive. Would have been nice to see
that in the documentation instead of having to trip over it after a bit
of head scratching.
By default, it contains this information:
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/postgresql/8.1/main -c
config_file=/etc/postgresql/8.1/main/postgresql.conf
