I asked this because only adminpack features were checked within this

OK. I first chose to use a menu because executing pgstattuple on a big
table (more than a gig) is really slow.

I'll first get rid of the menu. I forgot to ask if I can add a hint
about vacuuming if dead_rows_percent is way too high. Are you OK with this ?
