... as attached.
I first tried to add a hack directly in index_drop, but that doesn't
really work because there's no way to tell whether the partitioned index
is going to be dropped first or the index partition -- as that code runs
after the dependency tree has been walked. The condition has to be
checked before starting the object-drop code proper.
