I agree that it's more useful to put point on the second line.
This is the reason why I can't use the new command 'duplicate-line',
so forced to continue using my own implementation in ~/.emacs.

The problem is how to define this behavior with the prefix arg C-u in case
when a prefix numeric argument is used.

A user option looks preferable. In case of a prefix numeric argument,
it also makes sense to have 3 choices:
1. leave point on the old line
2. move point to the first new line
3. move point to the last new line
