Your proposed change in the test sounds better than what we have now
but I think we should also avoid autovacuum to perform analyze as that
may add additional counts. For test_decoding, we keep
autovacuum_naptime = 1d in logical.conf file, we can either use the
same here or simply keep autovacuum off.
