You may have misunderstood; I meant to add each type used by the table to
the deps list for a table (and each function used by a view etc etc).
Current implementation leaves the deps list blank for tables, and only
lists the tables for a view (I think).

The problem with the current deps list is that (a) it assumes that OID
order is important and (b) it does not do any analysis of the topology of
the dependencies.

The latter will be substantially improved if we can get pg_depend deps into
the dump file, and if we can do a useful analysis of the dependencies.
