Well, you'd need to take that up on the Slony lists, but I'd say that
Slony definitely ought to provide a better export mechanism than forcing
you to use a standard data-only dump. At minimum they should teach that
script to emit two separate files: one to load before the data and one
after. Building the indexes and FK constraints on already-loaded data
is a heck of a lot faster.
