In the past our practice has been to go ahead and back-patch such
changes, eg
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2003-04/msg00095.php
Obviously we can't force initdb in the back branches, but we can and
should get the entries right for future installations.
I think the only interesting question is whether we should force initdb
in HEAD. I'd prefer not to since we're past RC1. This is a pretty
minor bug really, and I don't think it justifies forcing a dump/reload
cycle on people testing RC1.
