Add --no-instructions parameter to initdb
Specifying this parameter removes the informational messages about how to start the server. This is intended for use by wrappers in different packaging systems, where those instructions would most likely be wrong anyway, but the other output from initdb would still be useful (and thus just redirecting everything to /dev/null would be bad).
