The reason I was looking closely yesterday is because Debian's
regression tests were tripping over it, but I only figured out the
problem today:
If I create a table in a PG13-or-earlier cluster, never ANALYZE it,
and then pg_upgrade to 18 and run vacuumdb --analyze-only
--missing-stats-only, the table will not get analyzed. The only table
visited there is pg_largeobject.
Upgrades from 14..17 are fine.
