I have seen some of the GNOME Shell extensions in the repos with the names gnome-shell-extensions and others with gnome-shell-extension. A naming standard should be established, I would suggest that each package contains a single extension, so the name sans "s" would be most correct. In the future if a meta package was created to be calling multiple extensions then "extensions" would be more correct.
Some reviewers already tried to harmonize this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710386#c1
Using this approach: """ These extensions were built as subpackages of the main package "gnome-shell-extensions", and so named "gnome-shell-extensions-<foo>", as defined in the guidelines. It seemed logical to me to refer to "third-party" extensions under the name "gnome-shell-extension-<bar>", since the package would provide only one extension "a priori". Maybe we'll need to specify guidelines for such extensions, becoming more numerous. """ (see comment 3 of the same bug report).
This sounds like a valid approach to me.
