I submitted that patch almost a year ago, and it wasn't accepted. So I guess core didn't think it's useful.
No, I asked Tilman some time ago to include the --extract-only patch and he had no objections IIRC. I guess next release of pkgutils will have it.
Yep. Back then I noticed that Lucas' original patch had a few rough edges etc -> I asked Lucas to fix it up and then it got off my radar :) So yes, I think -extract-only makes sense and it should go in.
