If the extension becomes a part of the tarball (and thus a part of the
mercurial package) we would get a nice collision between the two
packages and we would avoid confusion and it would be obvious that the
conflict had to be handled somehow - for example by letting the
mercurial package automatically replace the extension package.
I agree that manually dropping files in hgext is a very bad idea.
