From here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/logical-replication-subscription.html
"A subscription defines the connection to another database and set of
publications (one or more) to which it wants to subscribe."
and here:
"PUBLICATION publication_name [, ...]
Names of the publications on the publisher to subscribe to.
"
Finding the subscriptions for a given publication and deleting those
slots may break the subscription on the receiving side if it is looking
for data from more then one publication.
