We have had this problem already in some other new features, e.g. #8492,
where Steffen moved two old-school modules to sysext (about and
cshmanual) [1].

So the upgrade-process for this use-case is already coded [2], you might
try just to add "version" to the list there to see if it works as expected.

Cheers,
Ernesto
