No, it is simply because camlp4 3.10 got rid of pa_extend.cmo.
See for example
http://martin.jambon.free.fr/examples/pa_json_static_3100beta.html for
a comparison of the required compilation commands.

CamlP4 is the legacy/official one, integrated with OCaml. It changed
significantly from OCaml 3.09 to 3.10. CamlP5 is no longer legacy, but
descend from the line of development of CamlP4 pre-3.10.

There is one already: CamlP4 >= 3.10.

So, in essence, you don't have any specific problem with your
installation, nor there is one with the Debian packages you are
using. You just need to decide against which "flavor" of CamlP* you
want to develop.
Cheers.
