The point of this explanation is that as Debian maintainer I would have
to disable any procedures that attempt to edit these conffiles, or at
least ensure that their operation is under package control and produce
only the effects that I desire.
Uh, is this relevant at all? There has been no suggestion that initdb
should try any harder or less hard than it does now to write
$PGDATA/pg_hba.conf. All that's been discussed is what it should write
there. If you are going to hack on it to enforce your opinion of what
it should do, then you'll be making the same hack either way.

It's just that if people are going to do things to initdb to accommodate
the distributions, they need to understand the constraints.
