I consolidated the dependency warnings into the main "Notes" section for both pg_dump and pg_restore, removing the repetitive per-switch notes. For the -e switch in pg_dump, I replaced the removed dependency note with a specific warning that extension installation files (shared libs, control files) are not included. I agree that maintaining a specific note for -e is the right move. Given the broad usage of pg_dump, it is helpful to be explicit that the dump only captures the SQL definitions and not the underlying system binaries.
