That would be a major regression wrt. upgrades, though, since an
upgrade from e. g. etch (8.1) to lenny (8.3) would upgrade
postgresql-foo and thus the 8.1 extension wouldn't be available any
more. With postgresql-foo-{8.1,8.3} you can install both side by side.

That's how the base postgresql packages work, and I'm afraid
extensions need to do the same if they want to provide a clean upgrade
path.
