That's what I had planned. Forgot to mention it in the ITP, sorry for
the confusion. Yes, I will place this under pkg-gnome.

Yes, there sure is no extension manager, but the user can look up
extensions in looking glass. We would like to remain close to upstream
for this one, so its okay to ship extensions in different binary
packages generated by the same source. The user can install the
extensions which he/she likes.

As I have mentioned already, one binary package for each extension
should suffice for now. We can plan those later.
