Uh, why the rights revocation? That makes the thing essentially useless
... except to superusers, who will not be affected anyway. I don't
think this is a sane default.

In any case, fixing initdb for this is trivial. I count something north
of 160 other references to template1 in the current sources, scattered
across 60+ files. Every one of those has to be looked at and possibly
changed.
