Which is not really a problem, because it seems actually kinda absurd to
be running adddepend against an 8.1 server.  I mean, if you spent all
that time running with broken FKs and stuff from 7.2 to 8.1, why are you
going to care now?

I don't think it would be very difficult to solve the problem with
serial anyway.
