Thanks all for responses.
Let me ask other dummy question:
plv8 RPMs were built by PostgreSQL Community for different OSes, or by those OSes vendors/community (e.f. RedHat/Debian, etc)?
And the same question about postgresql-server install packages themselves (RPMs, debs, etc)
Thanks in advance

Yes, packaging of plv8 is pretty complicated. If one decided to ship RPM
package with plv8, it would mean maintenance of whole v8 language - which
is incredibly complicated (incompatible changes all the time, backporting
security fixes, etc.).
That's the reason why plv8 (and even v8 runtime) becomes dropped from Linux
distributions.
