Yes, there is a reason, though I can't remember why. We need the
analyze at the end so the system tables are completely optimized, but we
need the earlier vacuum to set some table statistics that don't get set
by the raw load used by initdb. You can try removing the first one to
see if it works.

Seems it works without the first initdb here. I will apply a patch to
remove the first initdb. I think we needed it long ago for some reason.
