One needs to check what happens in case that one runs
    ./first-setup.sh --extras=t-something
    ./first-setup.sh --extras=t-somethingelse
I would not be surprised if the first module was deleted (this needs
to be checked and fixed).

But in general I would suggest:
a) putting --extras=whatever to the last line of first-setup.sh
b) putting anything that's not in distribution to texmf-local

Most probably because there has never been a need for that until
recently. I can add it to the repository, but I'm sceptic if it will
work properly. rsync is somehow unpredictable if one provides two
files with the same name. I would not be surprised if it took one file
from context and the other file from the extra module. Feel free to
test - bib is in repository now.
