Some makefiles were trying to do this: temp-install: EXTRA_INSTALL=contrib/test_decoding but that no longer works as of commitaa019da52: the macro is now consulted by the checkprep target, one level down, and apparently gmake doesn't propagate such macro settings recursively. The problem is masked since42e61c774because pgxs.mk also sets up EXTRA_INSTALL, and correctly applies it to the checkprep target. Unfortunately I'd not risked back-patching that to before v11. Sinceaa019da52was pushed back to v10, it broke test_decoding there (the only module for which this actually makes a difference at present). Hence, back-patch42e61c774to v10. Also, remove some demonstrably useless settings of EXTRA_INSTALL in v10 and v11 (they'd already been cleaned up in HEAD). Per buildfarm.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
