According to commit message:
commit 2effb72e682a7dbdc9a8a60a80c22ec1fa9d8079

..    The code that generated a record to clear the F_TUPLES_DELETED flag hasn't    existed since we got rid of
old-styleVACUUM FULL. I kept the code that sets    the flag, although it's not used for anything anymore, because it
might   still be interesting information for debugging purposes that some tuples    have been deleted from a page.
 
..

If Heikki doesn't change his opinion then introduce new flag. Although I don't 
think that we need to keep F_TUPLES_DELETED.
