P.S. I've found sources at Debian mainstream:
https://sources.debian.org/src/php-defaults/69/php-helper/

Overall, I think this might be too Debian specific tool. PECL is
something that works in similar way. And it installs entire extension
from scratch together with compiling... PECL approach is something
that PHP should go into. Or, the more taboo way - Composer installable
extensions. There was some work done on that but it got stuck because
it is very large change and now nobody knows how to do that from that
step. Basically, a Composer plugin might be a better start with this.
Except that here we need to understand that PHP packages on Linux
distributions are already compiled and prepared for faster
installation, so installing extensions with PECL is a way different
approach compared to a more comfortable ways using
apt/yum/dnf/pacman/brew...
