This would be a pretty bad idea IMHO, since it would lead to bloating
the logs with autovacuum progress messages by default --- and whatever
you may think about it, I really doubt that the average DBA will want
those messages there all the time.
I wonder whether it would be practical to let the autovacuum daemon have
its own value of log_min_messages. The alternative to that seems to be
to invent a new log severity level just for autovacuum, which is pretty
gross (especially since it's not obvious how it should sort relative to
LOG and DEBUG1).
