Even in the absence of preservation, the problem is there doesn't seem
to be a way to re-seat the extension into the correct, previous
configuration either.  One can't just DROP CASCADE plpgsql, lest
existing UDFs depend up on them, and one can't reassign the owner
in-place either to fix the situation.  Except, maybe, via this catalog
hack.
