Meh.  I think that sort of situation is one in which non-experts are
going to need help in any case.  It's unlikely that pg_upgrade can,
or should try to, offer them advice sufficient to fix the problem.

Also, I completely reject the idea that pg_upgrade's output should
be optimized for that situation rather than the typical "you forgot
to install these extensions in the new installation" case.
