The thinking is that we need to have the dependency registered too, so
that DROP SCHEMA will cascade to the extension.  So while at it, I also
used the dependency for tracking the schema.

Even if I get to use a column to track the schema, I will have to
maintain registering the dependency.  Should I do that?
