Well, *I* wouldn't recommend it. That installed version of that file
(which if anything is what he should mangle rathwer than the source) is
really just an implementation artefact.

Why would this be better than either loading the schema+table directly
into template1 after initdb, or making your own template db and loading
them into that?
