Yeah, but pg_dump is doing a schema-only dump so it doesn't transfer the
current state of the sequence.

The most effective solution might be to revert the change in pg_migrator
and instead have pg_dump interpret --binary-upgrade --schema-only to
include the data for sequences. It seems ugly as sin though :-(
