I already do on a nightly basis (which is probably not often enough in this case) and have got autovacuum running. I'll check into FSM settings as suggested by Grzegorz Jaśkiewicz, there's probably half a solution to the problem there, the other half being probably the autovacuum daemon not visiting this table nearly often enough.
