It might make the most sense to mention this method in the release notes
of the extension. However, I assume they are not using the extension in
the new server so their is no release to look at.
Still, I don't know how many people are doing this, but the right fix is
to get the names of the modules that are superceeded and tell pg_upgrade
to skip them.
