[postgis-users] PostGIS Manual: Indexes and PostgreSQL 7.5

I'm confused by contradicting information in the PostGIS manual
(Section on Indexes)


"-- This is only needed for PostgreSQL  75 installations
  SELECT UPDATE_GEOMETRY_STATS([table_name], [column_name]);"

and 

"For PostgreSQL  75 installations this is done by
            running "update_geometry_stats([table_name, column_name])"
            (compute distribution) and "VACUUM ANALYZE [table_name]
            [column_name]" (compute number of values)."

but

" Starting with
            PostgreSQL 75 running "VACUUM ANALYZE" will do both operations."

Did an automatic replacement of version numbers go wrong?
