I wonder if Andrew Dunstan (now CC'd) could configure his crake
buildfarm member to run pg_amcheck with the most expensive and
thorough options on the master branch (plus all new major version
branches going forward).

That would give us some degree of amcheck test coverage in the back
branches right away. It might even detect cross-version
inconsistencies. Or even pg_upgrade bugs.
