Instead of adding the :whitespace-cleanup property to the template
definition (what requires you to specify e.g. whitespace-cleanup in
every single template) why not define a new hook that is run before
the finalization starts? I.e. with capture buffer current and still
narrowed.

See attached patch that such a hook called
`org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook'.
