I still wonder, why that constraint (now with a less questionable name) is
created during MERGE?

That is, before MERGE, two partitions have only PRIMARY KEY indexes,
with no not-null constraint, and you can manually remove the constraint
after MERGE, so maybe it's not necessary...

Best regards,
Alexander
