I saw many mentions of pg_upgrade in this old thread. I think the focus
should be in pg_dump, which is where the SQL syntax or custom reloptions
would be dumped and restored. pg_upgrade will just use that
functionality. In summary, I don't think there is anything
pg_upgrade-specific here, but rather the issue of how this information will
be dumped and restored, regardless of whether a major upgrade is taking
place.
