There were two deadlocks, I might have copy/pasted info from another
case.

These are *all* deadlock related messages from the log, all where
anonymized using regexps, no manual intervention, so the changes should
be consistent.

As for inheritance - none of table_a, table_ao, table_q has any
inheritance. There are tables with inheritance in this db, but not
these.

It is, though, possible that one of table_a/ao/q has fkey pointing to
some inherited table, or some inherited table has fkey to _a/_ao/_q
- would that matter? i can dig details if it would be interesting.
