To make it clear, I'm not asking about changing where 'extramodules'
goes, as that's up to the devs. I'm asking whether my package (and my
own scripts) should be using the 'general' extramodules folder (which
they would in the end no matter what).

Your first suggestion doesn't make sense because that would defeat the
purpose of having 'extramodules' in the first place (so minor kernel
version updates do not need rebuilding of modules). The second one is
currently symlinked to /lib/modules/extramodules-<kernel>
