It seems you're right. I was additionally confused because the autovacuum had
processed the most recent tables (triggered by insertion; partitioned by date),
but had not processed some of last month's tables (which I was querying for
relpages, since it's a complete month), since this DB was upgraded to pg9.4
last month.
