How often do you intend to install PostGIS? Disable pgaudit, install PostGIS, enable pgaudit?
Would it make sense for pgaudit to, at least by option, not include DDL statements that are generated as "sub-parts" of a CREATE EXTENSION? It should still log the CREATE EXTENSION of course, but not necessarily all the contents of it, since that's actually defined in the extension itself already?
