>From IRC:
<thekorn> kamstrup, for the other bug, would you be happy with a --load_all_extensions commandline switch for the daemon?

I am not sure that is good enough, unless we package ZG to always launch
with that. My idea was that simply installing/removing .debs determined
which extensions where loaded, to maximize flexibility for ISVs. If
ZEITGEIST_DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS where set, this should probably override
the ones found on the file system.

Bug description:
(Canonical hat on)

For packaging reasons it would be nice if Zeitgeist would automatically load all extensions found somewhere on the file system so that we could ship the FTS extension in a separate .deb for Unity. In theory it's possible to use the env vars there are, but that will require some nasty tricks in the package afaik.

On a more general note this feature would also make it easier for distributors to ship a clean unpatched Zeitgeist, but sill bundle their own extensions. Fx. MeeGo might want to ship the Tracker extension by default.
