Yes, and it has since its introduction.  Just use the dotted name for the 
extension name.

4Suite has many extension modules that are part of packages and never once has 
there been a problem reported due to extension modules.  The thought that 
extension modules cannot be in a package has never even cross my mind.  I 
would have thought it a bug if they didn't, FWIW.
