What do you think the comment ought to say ?  It already says:

src/backend/catalog/heap.c-              * Make a dependency link to force the 
relation to be deleted if its
src/backend/catalog/heap.c-              * access method is.

Are you suggesting to put this in a conditional: if oldrelam!=newAccessMethod ?

+       ((Form_pg_class) GETSTRUCT(tuple))->relam = newAccessMethod;
+       CatalogTupleUpdate(pg_class, &tuple->t_self, tuple);
+
+       /* Update dependency on new AM */
+       changeDependencyFor(RelationRelationId, relid, AccessMethodRelationId,
+                                               oldrelam, newAccessMethod);

Why is that desirable ?  I'd prefer to see it written with fewer
conditionals, not more; then, it hits the same path every time.

This ought to address your other comments.
