Doesn't help me at all, as I'm on Linux and there the package is usually
prebuilt by the distributor. The only thing, that would help me, is a easy way
to disable extension installation even after installation.

Just killing/renaming the relevant library also helped. Thanks for pointing me
to this. Is there any way to simple toggle this even as user (non-root)? Can I,
for example, place the library to somewhere in my libreoffice profile dir to
re-enable extension installation?
