That script was the result of some longer discussion about
"installing PL/pgSQL by default (initdb) or not" which
resulted from some problems with the location of the language
handler object.

Some people like to have one or the other language in
template1, so it will automatically be there after createdb.
Others like to install individual PL's per database.

What I see from your comments above is, that you don't use
procedural languages at all. But that's not a good reason for
making it harder for others to gain access to these
languages.
