All,
pg_partman has several external (python) scripts which help the
extension, located in /extras/ in its source. The problem currently is
that if you install pg_partman via pgxn or package, you don't get those
scripts, because there's no "install" location for them.
Where should these go? PGSHARE/pg_partman/? Or somewhere else? I'm
looking to set a canonical location for extensions with external scripts.

See also my proposal to solve that, I'd welcome some design level
discussions about it:

Use the SCRIPTS variable in pgxs, and they will get installed.

Oh yeah? Cool. Is there an existing extension with an example of this?

Don't know. I just saw this in the pgxs source code. Presumably, it
was added because it was used somewhere.
