Understood this is not a bug, thank you.


I missed ALTER TABLE statement in previous test case, correct test case is as 
follow:
-- create table
CREATE TABLE p1 (a int , b int);
CREATE TABLE c2 (a int , b int);

-- alter c2' inheritance 
ALTER TABLE c2 INHERIT p1;

-- drop column b
ALTER TABLE p1 DROP COLUMN b;

-- table description 


postgres=# \d p1
Table "public.p1"
Column |  Type  | Modifiers 
--------+---------+-----------
a    | integer | 
Number of child tables: 1 (Use \d+ to list them.)

postgres=# \d c2
Table "public.c2"
Column |  Type  | Modifiers 
--------+---------+-----------
a    | integer | 
b    | integer | 
Inherits: p1
