Actually, after having a look at the git repo, the last supported PG
version there is 9.1, and we are going to ship 9.4, I think it's
probably best to just remove pgtune. The config settings it produces
have never been really smart, and with the memory changes between 9.1
and 9.4 they won't improve either. I tried emailing Greg a while back
about making a new release but never got any reply.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_Your_PostgreSQL_Server
is a nice wiki article explaining what should be tuned on the first
setup. Some of these things can be automatically determined, but most
can't, so the value of starting with a "pgtuned" config is
questionable.
