Comment (by strk):

 I gave this another look and actally think that {{{ ALTER EXTENSION DROP
 }}} in extension upgrade are working fine. But the current obstacle is
 that unpackaging raster objects make them impossible to re-package w/out
 first upgrading them, which means having to resort to scripts loading.

 So the only way I can see to solve this in an "extension way" would be for
 "postgis_raster--unpackaged--TARGET.sql" to include a minor upgrade. I
 dunno why we shouldn't be doing this always, for all extensions.
