The standalone backend does schemas just fine.  What is supposed to
ensure that the views get created in pg_catalog is the bit in initdb:

PGSQL_OPT="$PGSQL_OPT -O --search_path=pg_catalog"

The -- parameter should do the equivalent ofSET search_path = pg_catalog;
but apparently it's not working for you; if it weren't there then the
views would indeed get created in public.

Any idea why it's not working?
