That pg_attrdef.adsrc was already marked as "historical, and is best
not used" in 9.4: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/catalog-pg-attrdef.html
(In fact, that notice was added in 8.0).
The official way to get the human-readable representation of the
column's default value is "pg_get_expr(d.adbin, d.adrelid)" (use that
instead of d.adsrc) - that way the fix is rather straight-forward.
Documentation on pg_get_expr() is in this table:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/functions-info.html#FUNCTIONS-INFO-CATALOG-TABLE

Christoph
