I did not say it's the easier way, but maybe more elegant. No, I'm not 
starting the elegant vs. works now and is bug-free discussion again ;)

The files the extension actually requires are identical to the one you 
update to.

Sorry, no offense meant, I did _not_ at first perceive this as intended 
behaviour, but as a missing feature. Actually, I've had the same 
argument today in the bugtracker when a reporter would not recognize 
intended behaviour as such.
