`ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE` fails with `"could not access file "$libdir/postgis-3": No such file or directory"` because the PGDG-packaged `postgis/address_standardizer` upgrade SQL hardcodes `LOAD '$libdir/<module>'`, but with `imageVolume`-mounted extensions there is no `$libdir` to expand. `dynamic_library_path` already resolves the bare module name, so the prefix is stripped from the scripts at build time. If successful, we should fix this upstream, either in the Debian packaging project or in PostGIS directly.
