Several of the extension modules shipped in Debian are also available
via pgxn, but usually we are downloading the tarballs directly from
where upstream put them (e.g. github).

"apt-get install build-essential" is what you usually want here.

pgxnclient is available as .deb, fwiw.

There's a WIP branch of postgresql-common that eases packaging of
PGXS-based modules (as in
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk).

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-postgresql/postgresql-common.git/commit/?h=dh-make-pgxs

It doesn't interface with pgxn yet, but that shouldn't be hard to add.
