Listing the superuser after sounds fine to me.

Completely unrelated, but as we are on this part of the documentation
now, and as we discussed that stuff face-to-face last September where
I actually promised to write a patch without doing it for seven
months, I see no problems to tackle this issue as well now.  Better
later than never :)

I would like to apply this down to 9.5 for the checkpoint part and
down to 11 for the role part, so if anybody has any comments, please
feel free.
