Just call that a kludge as it means that the admin is expected to create
as many dummy and unknown (if you have a custom dump file) tablespaces as
necessary to please pg_restore.
These useless tablespaces just create a mess in the database, that I will
have to clean afterwards... if I can!
Then bad news, ISTM that altering the tablespace of an index, a sequence
or a schema is not implemented. So I'll have to move the files and links
around, and update manually the catalog entries, or possibly drop and
recreate all indexes... I hope I won't have large objects around, because
it might look really bad then. What a nice piece of restoration;-)
So basically I'll have created stupid directories and tablespaces and
there is no way to fix them afterwards even if they are meaningless:-(

I really think a better job can and should be done, at least from the user
perspective.
