The PKGBUILD looks strange, but I guess you already noticed that. The
nginx-extra package is identical to the nginx package except its
dependencies. Just use optdepends here if needed.

But more important please don't add random third party patches/modules
and keep the package vanilla. There are good reasons we have the "don't
patch" policy. They can break on nginx updates, introduce new issues
etc.; esp. since they are built-in. There might be very good reasons why
these modules are not included in the upstream distribution.

So in short: Don't split nor patch and keep the package as vanilla as
possible.

People can easily build their own if they need special "modules" or
patches.

Greetings,

Pierre
