The reason I didn't patch it myself is that I'm not quite clear on what *should* be happening here. What effect should a large delete have on the ANALYZE threshold, exactly? You could argue that a deletion potentially changes the statistics (by omission), and therefore inserts, updates, and deletes should equally count +1 towards the analyze threshold. I don't think we are implementing that though. If we want to do it that way, I suspect last_anl_tuples as currently defined is not the right comparison point.
Just as a point of reference, the old contrib pg_autovacuum counts ins + upd + del against the analyze threshold where as the vacuum threshold only compares against upd + del.
