As best I can tell, extensions are normally uploaded as zip files. It
should be noted, then, that the umask doesn't appear to affect that.
zip files contain some information about the permissions of the files
they contain, and at least the system "unzip" utility will honor those.
You might be chasing a wild goose if you're trying to change apache's
umask to address this.
Instead you may need to use the "manual install" process and set the
permissions on files manually:

As a security bonus, I would anticipate that manual installation would
mean that your extensions aren't owned by the apache use, and can be
installed with no write access for the apache group. So, that's
something to think about.
