Description
psql output (sql&error dump): http://dumpz.org/1631/
Test project: http://narod.ru/disk/1425336000/reset-depended.tbz.html
I dumped data from app and tried to reset it, got failure message complaining about dependent objects with a hint for CASCADE. But there's no way to ask reset code to [automatically] produce a SQL with CASCADE code.
Reset code should temporarily disable (drop?) constraint for that dependent application and reenable(recreate) it afterwards.

This is essentially a duplicate of #2493. reset (and sqlreset) are known to have some pretty major problems caused by constraints, and these problems aren't Postgres specific. Fixing these problems is not a trivial operation, either.
