The way it works in needToSyncRepository 
(desktop/source/deployment/misc/dp_misc.cxx) is to compare (LO's idea 
of) modification times of /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/ 
directory and 
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/extensions/bundled/lastsynchronized file. 
There is a dummy /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions/package.txt file 
specifically intended to be manually touched whenever manually adding a 
bundled extension, for platforms where the directory's modification time 
would otherwise not necessarily be updated reliably, for one reason or 
other.
