Nowadays 'contrib' refers to the physical structure (directory). I wouldn't
mention it because it is a development/packaging detail. We use the terminology
additional supplied module/program to refer to this piece of software which is
kept in the Postgres repository but can be optionally installed. pageinspect
(possibly with the URL) is clear enough. However, if you don't like the
shorthand, 'pageinspect extension' or 'pageinspect module' are good options.
