Slony does strange stuff to FK-s and other constraints, at least in 1.X
versions (like changing the relation type from index to
<i-dont-remember-what>) and thus you are not supposed to do DDL directly
on slaves (or even masters).
You should use EXECUTE SCRIPT slonik command to do DDL, so that drop
index happens while original state is temporaryly restored)
Actually this should belongs to Slony list ;)
