 Priority:  medium                 |  Milestone:  PostGIS Fund Me
Component:  build/upgrade/install  |    Version:  master

 This is a spin off of #5486

 When upgrading your PostGIS database while having a view holding back a
 deprecated function you end up having a partially upgraded database, which
 is reported with a WARNING during the upgrade and by
 postgis_full_version()

 When upgrading again you don't get a clear message about problems BUT you
 may get an error about being it impossible to rename a deprecated function
 (because the deprecated function name already exists).

 This ticket may serve to improve this situation.
