What use case do you have for this?

For the most critical settings the extension code should perform some 
validation and it can also use sensible defaults if these settings are 
incorrect.
To check if the static template is included the extension can check 
certain settings (even perhaps an extra setting which indicates that the 
static template is in fact loaded).
Checking if a static template is included has the added advantage that 
it is possible to provide more than one possible static template and 
only one needs to be included.

I have never felt the need to add an ext_typoscript_*.txt to any of my 
extensions. As an integrator I would like to have the possibility to 
leave out the static template and provide a complete configuration of my 
own.
