It seems to me that what is *really* needed is a script that knows
where to stash files like this.  That script would be invoked in the
postinst scripts of extension packages like mozilla-imagezoom to
register the extension file.  Another script would be invoked in the
postinst scripts of browsers like icewhatever to register directories.
This would be something like the scripts
 /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install
 /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install
that track the installed various flavours of Emacs and installed elisp
extensions in order to ensure correct compilation of elisp sources
and correct placement of the resulting object files.

This would decouple knowledge of the browser-specific extension
directories from the extension packages.
