In the Extension it's an seperate function. It's the same list like 
"Install extensions", just with two more columns.
So a check box like "Shy extensions" for enabling would make sense, 
especially, you need this function for (un-)installing. I forgot to 
mention, that the required version is also shown.
So, a "Install extensions" would be obsolente, if we would have function 
called "Extension dependencies".
