Hi,
Please find attached a new version (v10) of the patch that fixes the
reported dependencies problems and add some new regression tests to
cover them.
The patch implements the solution we discuted privately with Markus
while at the CHAR(13) conference:
- create template for extension is now possible even if an extension
is already installed, so that you can install a template for a new
version of the extension;
- all the scripts used to install an extension are now set as
dependencies so that you can't drop parts of what you need at
restore time;
- you can create extension for template x version 'y' when you already
had an upgrade path leading to that same version 'y', but only if
your set of parameters for the version 'y' remains the same as
what's already installed in the auxilliary control entry;
- fix a pg_dump bug by using special dollar quoting $extname$.

Fixed in the attached.

Fixed in the attached by allowing both to co-exist.
