This is the line that needs to be changed :)

by?

As far as I see the extension id is unknown yet when onExtensionBeforeUpdate is triggered. Thus it must be calculated in the plugin itself based upon the manifest data with a db query OR the logic of the core Installer/Update process must be changed significantly.

I just flew over the code and don't see a practicable/acceptable way.
Objection welcome ;-)

With other words: I would close tis issue but I'm not sure.

closed as stated above as it can always reopened if needed. thanks @ReLater
