I have no confidence at all that this is a sane thing to do. I think
any enhanced security provider that needs system objects to be
labelled should provide a script to label them after the fact. You
can't count on everyone who wants to use SE-PostgreSQL having made
that decision at initdb time. I think we want to keep single-user
mode as lean and mean as possible, so that people can rely on it when
they need to fix their broken database.
