Comment (by strk):

 Sorry for the partial comment, I meant upgrading BEFORE manually dropping
 the deprecated functions currently errors out with something like:

 > ERROR:  Attempting to rename replaced function st_dwithin(geometry,
 geometry, float8) got function
 st_dwithin_deprecated_by_postgis_200(geometry, geometry, double precision)
 already exists in schema "public" (42723)

 Maybe the upgrader could catch that exception and hint the user about the
 need to resolve the situation, after trying to resolve it itself.
