| Centralize all system extensions checks.
Unfortunately, now that 2.62 has been released, there are packages that
are relying on the new combined semantics (pretty much anything
gnulib-based), as well as packages that aren't expecting the combined
semantics (witness all the bug reports). I don't think straight reversion
is an option because it would impact a different set of packages; rather,
we'll have to find a way to make both camps happy by keeping things
combined but resolving the barriers that got in the way of older usage
patterns.
