Good question --- the full text is:

     <listitem>
      <para>
       Record and check the collation of each <link
       linkend="sql-createdatabase">database</link> (Peter Eisentraut)
      </para>

      <para>
       This is designed to detect collation
       mismatches to avoid data corruption.  Function
       <function>pg_database_collation_actual_version()</function>
       reports the underlying operating system collation version, and
       <command>ALTER DATABASE ...  REFRESH</command> sets the database
       to match the operating system collation version.  DETAILS?
      </para>
     </listitem>

I just can't figure out what the user needs to understand about this,
and I understand very little of it.
