8.2 has far crummier support for logging what autovacuum is doing than
8.3 does :-(. The settings you show should mean that it's running, but
the only way to check specifically is to crank log_min_messages way up,
which will clutter your log with a lot of useless noise along with
autovacuum's messages.
