I think that heap_page_prune() is going to truncate dead tuples to
dead line pointers. At that point the tuple is gone. The only
remaining step is to mark the dead line pointer as unused, which can't
be done without scanning the indexes. So I don't understand what
lazy_vacuum_page() would need to do in this case.
