someonehas set deadlock_timeout to, say, 30s or 60s, they've already signaled they don't need frequent lock-wait
feedback.Logging every 10s after a 60s deadlock_timeout feels inconsistent with that intent. 

Or perhaps they expect the log message to be emitted only once,
just after deadlock_timeout, similar to the current behavior when
client_connection_check_interval is not set, I guess.

I'm now starting thinking it might be better to preserve the existing
behavior (emitting the message once per wait) regardless of whether
client_connection_check_interval is set, and implement that first.

If there is a need to emit the message periodically, we could add that
as a separate feature later so that it works independently of
the client_connection_check_interval setting.

Thought?
