Well, you also have cases like this:
--- a/contrib/earthdistance/expected/earthdistance.out
+++ b/contrib/earthdistance/expected/earthdistance.out
@@ -972,7 +972,7 @@ SELECT abs(cube_distance(ll_to_earth(-30,-90),
'(0)'::cube) / earth() - 1) <
drop extension cube; -- fail, earthdistance requires it
ERROR: cannot drop extension cube because other objects depend on it
-DETAIL: extension earthdistance depends on extension cube
+DETAIL: extension earthdistance depends on function cube_out(cube)
This is a further example of "wrong, not just annoying". Technically
this is a broader problem than DEPENDENCY_INTERNAL_AUTO, I think,
though perhaps not too much broader.
