Pushed on staging since the changes to postgresql requires a lot of
rebuilds.

The whitespace error is located in parts of the patch I can't change.
I've also added a sentence to the manual to make it clear that you
should list packages and not extensions themselves, and that you don't
need to add contrib extensions in the field. Otherwise, I think I've
addressed all your comments :)

Thank you for your review!
