Thanks for pointing this out -- I agree it needed rewording. I slightly
adjusted your text like this:
* Internal triggers require careful examination. Ideally, we
don't
* clone them. However, if our parent is itself a partition,
there
* might be internal triggers that must not be skipped; for
example,
* triggers on our parent that are in turn clones from its
parent (our
* grandparent) are marked internal, yet they are to be cloned.
Is this okay for you?

Fair point. I propose to patch catalog.sgml like this
<entry>
Parent trigger that this trigger is cloned from, zero if not a clone;
this happens when partitions are created or attached to a partitioned
table.
</entry>
It's perhaps not great to have to explain the parentage concept in the
catalog docs, so I'm going to go over the other documentation pages
(trigger.sgml and ref/create_trigger.sgml) to see whether they need any
patching; it's possible that we neglected to update them properly when
the partitioning-related commits went it.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Record parents of triggers
This let us get rid of a recently introduced ugly hack (commit
1fa846f1c9af).
