The moral equivalent of this in systemd would be to copy
/lib/systemd/system/postgresql.service to /etc/systemd/system, and
modify the ExecStart= line.

But have you noticed these lines in that file:
# Where to send early-startup messages from the server (before the
# logging options of postgresql.conf take effect)

Hope this helps,

James.
