You were correct. I have:
/usr/include/postgresql/postgres_ext.h
/usr/include/postgresql/9.1/server/postgres_ext.h

Seems to be a packaging/dependency issue. I installed
postgresql-server-dev-9.1 (9.1.13-1.pgdg12.4+1) this morning which
installed, as a dependency, libpq-dev (9.3.4-1.pgdg12.4+1) which uses a
different directory convention for where to place postgres_ext.h. I
guess a forced downgrade of libpq/libpq-dev is in order.
