Sorry, due to an unplanned commitment, I could not make it yesterday.
If I had been around, I would have voted against "allowing /usr/include/extensions"

I don't fully understand what you are trying to say, but the answer probable is
"no".

IMO, THIS package is misbehaving and therefore MUST be fixed. If other packages
contain hard-coded dependencies on this misbehavior, all necessary changes MUST
be reflected to them, too.
