And installing any extension via package does that (the directory):

if [ "$1" = "triggered" ]; then
        for triggername in $2; do
                case "$triggername" in
                        # new "bundled" extensions (since 3.3)
                        "/@OODIR@/share/extensions")
                          make_lo_sync_extensions
                        ;;
                esac
        done
fi

where make_lo_sync_extensions is

make_lo_sync_extensions() {
        touch /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions
}
