I guess we consider this a feature, not a bug. Otherwise there is no way
to retrieve foreign key information for foreign keys to unique
constraints. If you've got a concrete reason why this is a bad thing
please let us know. The javadoc does indeed say primary key, but I don't
see why including unique ones as well is a problem.
