I think a demonstration of the directory structure a new user will end up
with will be more clear:

/var/www/mediawiki/code/extensions/ezmwlucene/client/extensions/EzMwLucene

Of course I made the extensionsezmwlucene directory after I silently cursed
to myself when I realized you had made the directory structure flat. It's
not as bad as when a complicated software distribution does it, though.
