What about including the extensions (especially sial) in the crash rpm?
Or maybe even better, create a second crash-extensions sub package.

Looks reasonable to me.
Although this change will only be reflected in the upstream src.rpm file
on my people site, there is sort of a precedent in RHEL5. There is a RHEL5
ppc64 Cell/B.E. SPU "crash-spu-commands" package, which is a standalone crash
extension package, and which puts its .so file in /usr/lib64/crash/extensions:

...plus adding the "extensions" directory to the end.

"%{_libdir}/crash/extensions/" is ok for me!
