+1, looks good.  I think this change has been waiting for a very long
time -- documented as useless by 81c41e3d0ed3 (Jan 2005, general doc
copy-edit, a paragraph you're now removing).

Interestingly, it seems pg_dump stopped relying on that column as a
side-effect of 9f0ae0c82060 (May 2002, "First pass at schema-fying
pg_dump/pg_restore"); adsrc remained used for 7.1 and older only, which
was removed afterwards.
