I can see that Lamar and I are going to have major problems dealing with users who fall over these problems. There are some things that simply cannot be handled automatically, such as user-written functions that return opaque. Then there are issues of ordering; and finally the fact that we need to use the new pg_dump with the old binaries to get a useful dump. It seems to me that I shall have to make the new package such that it can exist alongside the old one for a time, or else possibly separate 7.3 pg_dump and pg_dumpall into a separate package.
