Huh?
You just said upthread that you didn't want to use template1 because
you didn't want to modify the template database. I think the point is
that if you're doing something to the database that someone might
object to, you oughtn't be doing it to the postgres database either.
You should create a database just for pg_upgrade's use and install its
crap in there.
