Should I drop / create extensions after upgraging?

Hello all!

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, using 9.1.4. There was a new package for 9.1.5, and I
just finished my upgrade. I make use of the uuid-ossp and tablefunc
extensions. What is the expected upgrade procedure for these extensions? A
drop followed by a create? Or is there something else less invasive?

I can't find any references to upgrades on
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createextension.html, nor on
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/ExtensionPackaging. Where should I have
looked to find a reference to upgrading?

The minor updates (e.g. from 9.1.4 to 9.1.5) are a drop-in binary
replacements. You don't need to do anything special about the extensions,
it just works (unless there's something really broken).

Or perhaps more to the point: if there were something special you had to
do, the release notes for 9.1.5 would have told you about it.
