hmm, but surely the all those indexes must already exist if the
partitioned index exists. Won't we be disallowing DROP INDEX of the
leaf partition indexes if that index is marked as being part of the
partitioned index?
If so, then surely this could only happen if someone manually edited
the pg_dump file to remove the CREATE INDEX statement for the leaf
partition, and if they do that, then maybe they won't be so surprised
that CREATE INDEX has to create some indexes.
