I don't know much about pgagent, but I seriously doubt that "untar the
source code into the installation directory" is the correct build process
for it. There's probably a README file or some other documentation
explaining what you should do instead.

"${MAJOR_VERSION}.${MINOR_VERSION}" is what it's seeing as the default
version in pgagent.control. This reinforces the idea that what you've
installed is some precursor file and not what's intended to be the
built-and-installed contents of the extension.
