For my part, I am unclear on why we are putting *any* diagnostic tools
in /contrib today. Either the diagnostic tools are good quality and
necessary for a bunch of users, in which case we ship them in core, or
they are obscure and/or untested, in which case they go in an external
project and/or on PGXN.
Yes, for tools with overhead we might want to require enabling them in
pg.conf. But that's very different from requiring the user to install a
separate package.
