The PGXN work looks very interesting; I'll certainly be looking at getting my postgresql-debversion datatype to use it.

Will the extension code be backported to 9.0 (or earlier) so that it can be used to aid upgrades to 9.1?

No, that would be way to invasive. But you can do CREATE EXTENSION ... FROM unpackaged; in the 9.1 install after restoring to convert an unpackaged extension into a packaged one.
