This was initially done as there were a few assertions throughout the codebase requiring a channel's policy to be known. Now that these have been addressed, we no longer need to store restored channels in the graph, as their policies where incomplete anyway.
channeldb
The channeldb implements the persistent storage engine for lnd and
generically a data storage layer for the required state within the Lightning
Network. The backing storage engine is
boltdb, an embedded pure-go key-value store
based off of LMDB.
The package implements an object-oriented storage model with queries and mutations flowing through a particular object instance rather than the database itself. The storage implemented by the objects includes: open channels, past commitment revocation states, the channel graph which includes authenticated node and channel announcements, outgoing payments, and invoices
