Right, but isn't that dependency logic based around the fact that the
inserts are targeting the original partition? Like, suppose partition
A has a foreign key that is not present on partition B. A row that is
originally in partition B gets rerouted into partition A. It must now
satisfy the foreign key constraint when, previously, that was
unnecessary.
