You mean it's the only thing you've run into.  There are a *lot* of
changes in the output of different pg_dump versions.  Even focusing
on the narrow question of sequence changes between 8.1 and 8.2,
what of the change from emitting "SERIAL" to emitting a separate
CREATE SEQUENCE and ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY?
