You mean categories ? ;-)

Well, then, osm2pgsql might not be your best option. You might end having 
other problems than just "get the relation in _rels
(like connecting the relation to it's members SQL in queries)

Yes, but not the one "linked" to the relation, but to it's ways members (check 
the osm_id)

I ran a test and I can confirm as well that without "type" tag, the relation 
isn't imported into _rels
However, whatever the value is like type=toto is enough so that the relation 
makes it's way to the _rels table, but not to the _polygon table.
