Well, OK, strictly speaking you are right because I
misdirected the report -- it should have gone
to postgresql-common since pg_upgradecluster belongs
to that.

Anything in postgresql-common ultimately is a Debian
decision (as it is not provided by upstream). I agree
those decisions may very well be in the *spirit* of
upstream's defaults.

So, to rephrase the question: I wonder whether --data-checksums
can be pre-set in /etc/postgresql-common/createcluster.conf's
"initdb_options" ?

Would you take care of re-attaching the report or should I
file a new one ?

Thanks for the work on PostgreSQL,
Karsten
