Right so just to clarify - the primary issue is that pg_upgrade fails
when upgrading both PostgreSQL and PostGIS? Do the CREATE FUNCTION
definitions make it through the upgrade, and so it's just the lack of
the old shared library that causes the problem?

But yes, I believe this is more along the lines that we should be thinking.
