 Ah, ok. Thanks for the explanation.

 > As for the wrong entries, there might be some wrong/insufficient info
 coming from g.extension (the list of installed addons is acquired using
 `g.extension -a`).

 There are no wrong entries. The problem is that g.extension -a lists the
 names of extensions that have been installed, but extensions != modules in
 some cases. There are, for example, extensions that provide several
 modules. So, by using "g.extension -a" you cannot be sure that the names
 you get are actually modules that can be called with --interface-
 description.
