I'm not even clear we do want this in /etc since none of our GUC

I tend to agree with this also, though I can imagine wanting to separate
things in a conf.d directory ala exim's conf.d directories, to allow
tools like puppet to manage certain things environment-wide (perhaps
krb_server_keyfile) while other configuration options are managed
locally.
Extensions are actually a pretty good argument for why conf.d in /etc
(or wherever the non-auto-config is) is pretty important useful.
That's the kind of thing conf.d directories are meant for. A user can
install a package containing an extension and the extension would
automatically drop in the config entries needed in that directory.
Agreed, though I think there should be a difference between "shared
library load" being added-to for extensions, and "random
extension-specific GUC"..
Now that you mention "shared library load", it may be a good idea
to add an "append-to-this-GUC" flag instead of overwriting the
previous value. Two GUCs may make use of it: shared_preload_libraries
and local_preload_libraries. It would make packagers' of extensions
and DBA's lives easier.
