So that would mean OOo unregistering any extension before it is upgraded
and registering them again after the upgrade. Yes, this would be
possible, but needs a policy (all extensions installed in the same
place[1] so that OOo can unregister/register them itself when needed).
I am working on this.

We should fix this before lenny indeed.

the extensions built out of the OOo source package (openoffice.org-report-builder and
openoffice.org-sdbc-postgresql) actually already use
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install, which is upstreams
recommended location for "bundled" extensions:
Selecting previously deselected package openoffice.org-sdbc-postgresql.
