I wonder if we should switch to keeping reltuplesperpage instead.

It would be preferrable to not touch the user side of reltuples if possible, since it's the only instant way to get a good estimate of the number of rows in a table right now. That's been a regular application technique for at least two years now, since http://www.varlena.com/GeneralBits/120.php popularized it.
