Um.  This isn't running initdb: this is running the package's initscript
and hoping it will pass the switch you supplied through to initdb.
If it doesn't, you'll get whatever locale is default in root's environment.

I gather from the package name that you're using Devrim's packages not
mine, so I don't know for sure what will happen here ... but I'm pretty
sure that that extra switch would *not* be honored in the Red Hat/Fedora
initscripts.

My suggestion for this would be to "su - postgres" and then run initdb
directly.
