No, pg_depend is not the thing to use for this. I was thinking of a new
field in the extension's control file, right beside where it says it's
dependent on such-and-such extensions in the first place. Say like

requires = 'extfoo, extbar'
no_relocate = 'extfoo'

Why not? It's local to that file, so you won't break anything.
