Can you give an example ?
If it's an empty inheritence parent (relkind=r), then it won't trigger
autovacuum/analyze thresholds (but you should analyze it manually).
Note that relkind=p "partitioned" tables don't have entries at all.

If it's never DELETEd from, then it won't trigger autovacuum (but may trigger
autoanalyze).
