You could actually do it 100% correctly in plpgsql; it's really just a
query into pg_depend to find the sequence dependent on the column.
But if your need is just to restore one specific dump, I'd be inclined
to edit the dump file. Most of the time, pg_get_serial_sequence('foo',
'bar') just results in 'foo_bar_seq'.
