I think install_as_superuser might be read to mean "we will run the
script as superuser, whether the calling user is or not". Which in
fact is a facility that might exist someday, making the chance of
confusion even greater.
requires_superuser isn't bad, but I think I'd rather avoid "requires"
here since we're also using that terminology for prerequisite
extensions. How about "must_be_superuser"?
