Right. Mediawiki itself installs bundled extensions into
/var/lib/mediawiki/extensions which I don’t find appropriate,
but maybe there’s a reason for it; src:mediawiki-extensions
puts them into /usr/share/mediawiki-extensions with another
subdirectory level $foo for the mediawiki-extensions-$foo
binary package, so I believe /usr/share/mediawiki-extensions/math
is a suitable place for these files, since the binary package
they belong to is nowadays called mediawiki-extensions-math.

Jonathan, do you want to take care of this?
