I've explored this a little bit more.

If the parent table has explicit not null constraint than results of MERGE/SPLIT look the same as result of CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF.  In every case there is explicit not null constraint in all the cases.

# CREATE TABLE t (i int not null, PRIMARY KEY(i)) PARTITION BY RANGE(i);
# \d+ t
                                      Partitioned table "public.t"

However, if not null constraint is implicit and derived from primary key, the situation is different.  The partition created by CREATE TABLE ... PARTITION OF doesn't have explicit not null constraint just like the parent.  But the partition created by MERGE/SPLIT has explicit not null contraint.

# CREATE TABLE t (i int not null, PRIMARY KEY(i)) PARTITION BY RANGE(i);
# \d+ t
                                      Partitioned table "public.t"

    "t_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (i)

                                         Table "public.tp_0_2"

I think this is related to the fact that we create indexes later.  The same applies to CREATE TABLE ... LIKE.  If we create indexes immediately, not explicit not null contraints are created.  Not if we do without indexes, we have an explicit not null constraint.

# CREATE TABLE t2 (LIKE t INCLUDING ALL);
# \d+ t2
                                           Table "public.t2"
 Column |  Type   | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Compression | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+-------------+--------------+-------------
 i      | integer |           | not null |         | plain   |             |              |
Not-null constraints:
    "t2_i_not_null" NOT NULL "i"
Access method: heap
# CREATE TABLE t3 (LIKE t INCLUDING ALL EXCLUDING IDENTITY);
# \d+ t3
                                           Table "public.t3"
 Column |  Type   | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Compression | Stats target | Description
--------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+-------------+--------------+-------------
 i      | integer |           | not null |         | plain   |             |              |
Indexes:
    "t3_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (i)
Access method: heap


I think this is feasible to avoid.  However, it's minor and we exactly documented how we create new partitions.  So, I think it works "as documented" and we don't have to fix this for v17.
