Well, I think the user doesn't *care* to see a message about the
optimization. They just want the command to be fast. *We* (developers)
want the message in order to ensure the command remains fast. So some
DEBUG level seems the right thing.
Another way to reach the same conclusion is to think about the "building
index ... serially" messages, which are are pretty much in the same
category and are using DEBUG1. (I do think the TOAST ones are just
noise though, and since they disrupt potential testing with
client_min_messages=debug1, another way to go about this is to reduce
those to DEBUG2 or just elide them.)
