The numbers for template1 and stage01.db look reasonable (but perhaps
you just recently vacuumed them?). What the message is probably
complaining about is that live01.db has seemingly never been vacuumed.
You can ignore template0, it's not supposed to be touched, but the
others all need vacuuming every so often.
