The full quote is
To vacuum a table, one must ordinarily be the table's owner or a
superuser. However, database owners are allowed to
vacuum all tables in their databases, except shared catalogs.
(The restriction for shared catalogs means that a true database-wide
<command>VACUUM</command> can only be performed by a superuser.)
and as far as I can see, the permissions check in vacuum.c implements that
exactly.
