Not as far as I can tell. Here's the kind of output I see from vacuum:

DEBUG: --Relation pg_class--
DEBUG: Pages 10: Changed 0, Reapped 1, Empty 0, New 0; Tup 695: Vac 0, Keep/VTL
0/0, Crash 0, UnUsed 35, MinLen 102, MaxLen 132; Re-using: Free/Avail. Space
3828/0; EndEmpty/Avail. Pages 0/0. Elapsed 0/0 sec.
DEBUG: Index pg_class_relname_index: Pages 16; Tuples 695: Deleted 0. Elapsed
0/0 sec.
DEBUG: Index pg_class_oid_index: Pages 7; Tuples 695: Deleted 0. Elapsed 0/0
sec.

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
