The order of outputs of initdb seems to be approximately

1. These are the settings I will use based on what you told me.
2. This is what I'm doing right now.
3. Here's what you can do next.

Your additions would appear to fall into bucket #1. So I think adding
them near the start of the output makes more sense. Otherwise, one
could also argue that all the locale information etc. should also be
repeated at the end, in case one forgot them or whatever.
