Right, but there's no way to upgrade from an rc to a final
unless we leave those names in the PostgreSQL extension upgrade
scripts.

One thing that might make packaging easier would be avoiding
to make _copies_ of those files but rather rely on symlinks
or have the package post-install script make copies on systems
that do not support symlinks. If you look at those zillion files
many are just identical:

 # ls `pg_config --sharedir`/extension/postgis*  | wc -l
 954

 # md5sum `pg_config --sharedir`/extension/postgis*  |
   awk '{print $1}' |
   sort -u | wc -l
 156

--strk;
