log_min_error_statement = error would at least get you the statements
reporting the deadlocks, though not what they're conflicting against.
Still, if you're seeing multiple occurrences per day, that would
probably let you build up a good picture of all the involved operations
over a couple of days.

isn't the default? ]
Unless your applications are issuing actual LOCK TABLE commands, it's
really hard to see how pg_dump could be involved. It doesn't take
anything stronger than AccessShareLock, and shouldn't be holding any
tuple-level locks at all.
