Sorry, there is zero chance of putting any interactivity into initdb.
Most RPM installations run it from the RPM install script and would be
unable to cope with this.

I disagree with the concept of expecting someone to supply useful values
at install time anyway, since a newbie is the *least* likely to have any
idea what to say at that time.  Heck, the experts can hardly agree on
what to use ...
