Despite my best intentions, all I've managed so far is the attached
patch. It's a small extras backend that reads the config values pkgme
needs from a .json file, with sane defaults for extras, so only unusual
values need to be specified.

The big time blocker for me at the moment is digging into the pkgme
source to find how to request and pass additional configuration
variables to the copyright and source/format files, which would be
required for extras. It would be nice if pkgme could somehow access the
default license text provided by dh-make. But, dh-make really only
supports a handful of licenses anyway, so not a big deal to duplicate
their default text in pkgme.

That's pretty much all there is to it. I'd appreciate any assistance in
the form of pointers to what part of the code to dig at,
additions/modifications to the patch, or offers of chocolate if I finish
(hey, motivation is key).
