If you look in the CAUTION box of
http://slony.info/documentation/stmttableaddkey.html, you'll see that it
warns you that this sort of thing is a sign that your schema needs fixing
anyway, and that there's no support for this in log shipping (and no support
is contemplated).  I thought I remembered a plan actually to rip this
functionality out, but so far I don't see that it actually has been. 
Nevertheless, it's definitely deprecated.  Having some database component
modify your schema is a good way to be surprised later.
