The extensions that are listed in this page are not part of Banshee
itself. As is indicated, they are provided by the "Banshee Community
Extensions" project and are packaged by most distributions, separately
from the main Banshee package.
That's why the first option listed in the "Getting Banshee Community
Extensions" paragraph is to install them using packages provided by
your distribution.
I've just updated that page to try to make things clearer, please take
a look again at that page to see if it helps.

Which text are you referring to ? The community extensions are usually
released at the same time as Banshee, with the same version number and
release type (active development or bugfixes only).
