Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the following script:
CREATE TABLE t (i int, PRIMARY KEY(i)) PARTITION BY RANGE (i);
CREATE TABLE tp_0 PARTITION OF t FOR VALUES FROM (0) TO (1);
CREATE TABLE tp_1 PARTITION OF t FOR VALUES FROM (1) TO (2);

CREATE TABLE t2 (LIKE t INCLUDING ALL);
CREATE TABLE tp2 (LIKE tp_0 INCLUDING ALL);
creates tables t2, tp2 without not-null constraints.

But after
ALTER TABLE t MERGE PARTITIONS (tp_0, tp_1) INTO tp_0;
I see:
\d+ tp_0
...
Indexes:
     "tp_0_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (i)
Not-null constraints:
     "tp_0_i_not_null" NOT NULL "i"
