What do you mean ?
Currently vacuum runs a three-step process
1) runs a full scan over heap and collects all dead tuple ctids from
heap
2) run full scans over all indexes of the relation and removes any
pointers pointing to dead tuples.
3) runs another full scan over heap and removes the tuples in the list
collected at step 1.
There is no modifications done to live tuples (ok, they *may* get frozen
if they are above certain age, but this is not relevant to current
discussion).
