They used to be in the -server-dev-NN package on Debian, but that had
the problem that running tests on installed extension package needed
more than that package's dependencies (namely this -server-dev-NN
package).

The change means you can "apt install postgresql-NN-whatever make",
check out the "whatever" source, cd there, and run "make installcheck"
(or rather "pg_virtualenv make installcheck").

Maybe moving pgxs to the -server package instead of -client would have
been better, but pg_regress is a client program in nature.
