This is somewhat intentional as the new package only contains some of
those packages (those that are shipped by upstream as part of the
tarball), while the mediawiki-extensions-base package was a somewhat
arbitrary list of extensions.

The package already has provides for those three packages (base, geshi,
and confirmedit), but I think it will still need to break
mediawiki-extensions since none of the extensions in that package are
compatible with the newer version and not all of them are provided by
the new package. I also have no plans on updating the
mediawiki-extensions-* packages. So I'm not sure really what other steps
can be taken...
