Just as a follow up, it turned out several sequences, and only sequences
were affected this way.
I used pg_dump to export these sequences, dropped the sequences, and
imported them again.
As there were some tables which depended on these sequences, I had to
use ALTER TABLE as well several times - grepping for the affected
sequence in the whole database dump gave me hints on what I had to do.
