Okay. It'll be good to have that, because as it is now it's hard to
see the whole picture.

I don't think the default pg_upgrade tests will upgrade contrib
objects (there are instructions in src/bin/pg_upgrade/TESTING that
cover manual dumps, if you prefer that method). My manual steps were
roughly
=# CREATE EXTENSION dummy_toaster;
=# CREATE TABLE test (t TEXT
STORAGE external
TOASTER dummy_toaster_handler);
=# \q
$ initdb -D newdb
$ pg_ctl -D olddb stop
$ pg_upgrade -b <install path>/bin -B <install path>/bin -d
./olddb -D ./newdb
(where <install path>/bin is on the PATH, so we're using the right binaries).
