OK, but the order what happened was a bit different.

1/ Firstly, it was only the "Except publications:" footer for \d that
was unintuitive. So that was updated to "Excluded from publications:".
2/ The pre-existing "Publications:" was intuitive as-is, but it was
updated to better match wording of 1.
3/ Then footer titles for sequence/schema were updated same

So maybe reword it slightly something like below:

SUGGESTION

The psql describe (`\d`) footer title was previously unintuitive when listi=
ng
publications that excluded specific tables. This has been fixed to say
"Excluded from publications:".

The pre-existing footer title for listing publications that include specifi=
c
tables has also been modified to to better match that phrasing. Now it says
"Included in publications:".

Footer titles for sequence and schema descriptions have been updated
similarly to maintain consistency.
