I was thinking the same thing.

Another open question I thought of was whether we should put the
dependency record on the pg_index row, or the pg_constraint row, or
perhaps the pg_class row. Right now, it is using pg_index, because that
was easiest to code up, but I suspect that once we have not-null
constraints in pg_constraint, it will be more consistent to make all
dependencies go against pg_constraint rather than a mix of several
catalogs.
