My point was that drop/create of the public schema does not generate a
pg_upgrade error like plpgsql does.
Let me address the schema question here and the plpgsql issue in the
next email.

No --- drop/create of the public schema produces:
test=> \dn+
List of schemas
Name | Owner | Access privileges | Description
--------+----------+-------------------+-------------
public | postgres | |
(1 row)
while the original shipped public and the post-upgrade of a drop/created
schema are:
test=> \dn+
List of schemas
Name | Owner | Access privileges | Description
--------+----------+----------------------+------------------------
public | postgres | postgres=UC/postgres+| standard public schema
| | =UC/postgres |
(1 row)
However, surprisingly, a simple pg_dump/restore also does not preserve
the public schema permissions either. :-(
