This might be a stupid idea, but how about introducing another 
placeholder variable in addition to @extschema@ when upgrading, named 
maybe @fromversion@. Combined with do blocks and 
pg_execute_extension_file this would allow doing the above stuff:

upgrade.sql contents:
[..]
-- uncoditional stuff
[..6]
DO $$
begin    if @fromversion@ matches [..6] then        pg_execute_extension_file('stuff to do if coming from pre-7-file');
  end if;
 
end;
$$
language 'plpgsql';
