Umm.. Whatever we decide on the fix, I think we should backpatch it to
8.3 because I am worried that someone way get completely confused with
the current vacuum report, especially if the autovac is triggered just
because of
heap full of DEAD line pointers. The num of dead rows reported may
awfully be low in that case.
