Ok, and the current idea fixes that! :)

For starters, an extension's script that requires an @extschema@
property is to be marked non-relocatable, so the command here would just
error out. Then again, should the extension's author forgot to mark it
relocatable, the @extschema@ placeholder is not replaced in the current
proposal, so that means that the objects schema are all hard-coded in
the script.

Then, if the superuser thinks it's a good idea to break the extension
after it's been installed, I'm not sure we can do anything about it.
