A single element is not plural. End users are not going to know the 
difference between the "subpackages of the main package" and third 
party extensions, until this moment I did not so I had to look in to it 
myself. It seems the the "extensions" name is coming from the git repo
where gnome has multiple extensions stored/developed. On the GnomeShell 
Extensions[1] page it describes the "gnome-shell-extension-tool" again
a single extension with out the plural name.
