Yes and no. I can live without the partitioning, as I do not intend to  
load data from more than one source. Other might. But until others  
want to load data from different sources, a comment in the source  
might do that partitioning of inheriting tables will be supported in  
the future. But, that is an academic point now.

Not quite. If the performance penalty by suboptimal choice in  
partitioning does not matter in the current project because the  
raster/bytea stuff does affect performance much more, it does not mean  
that I cannot work on other project where it can matter. And even if  
the latter is not the case, I can be just curious about it.

Indeed, it does. Thanks for the hint.
