Comment(by strk):

 Robe: we can't get rid of drop cascade for types due to circular
 dependencies: type requires input/output functions while output function
 needs type. Unless you handle to solve the puzzle the best we could do is
 add a check for the presence of tables requiring the type (and excluded
 the ones we install ourselves). Doesn't seem like an easy task, anyway.
