>From my experience, client apps usually don't report the information
about deadlock in a useful way (and they often don't report anything
at all except a standard error message). We usually dig into the
server log to find the information (and it's often useless because we
(currently) don't have information about the queries involved so we
log all queries for a while to have more debugging information).

So my point is that having all the information we can collect in the
server log is essential. I don't think the client app can do anything
useful with the query texts: they usually hide this sort of technical
details.
