Technically using PGSETUP_INITDB_OPTIONS does pass the initdb options to
the script:) If I am following correctly, what you want is something
like the below from pg_ctl, correct?:

pg_ctl init[db] [-D datadir] [-s] [-o initdb-options]

The question is not inappropriate as the above is the community site and
this is the community list for general questions. It is just that the RH
family packages are maintained outside of the core source by the folks

make any changes. Just a matter of circles within circles in the
'community'.
