It seems these are missing from the latest (development) ppa version.
I'll fix it now.
I am not having any luck finding anything

You run the PG export/download/upload (actually termed dump and
restore) from the Unix prompt on papio, so it's in a separate section
of the pg docs. (Section VI.II Reference, Client Applications)
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-pgdump.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-pgrestore.html
(I look up almost everything in Section VI Reference.)
FYI, you might want to glance at the psql Unix command there.
It's handy.

Nope. I think you found a bug in PPA.
