Usually, EPICS 'base' and 'extensions' have their own subtree and don't
end up in the same bin,lib,include,doc,...

Exactly the thing: extensions/include (and usually also a base/include).

You tell EDM where to load those via
and env. variable EDMOBJECTS that points to a file which lists
the objects and shared libs where they reside.

edm/setup/setup.sh is meant to help to create those files
and set the env. vars, but I think most sites end up
doing something else manually to pick which objects they
want to use.
