If a method is in an extension category of its own package, that's a
categorization bug. Rather than muddling the definition of extension
methods vs core methods I'd rather we fix the categorization of
miscategorized methods.

In the particular case of your example the method category should probably
be simply "charts", or possibly "morphicextras-charts".

If your goal is to browse all methods in a certain category (or category
prefix) across the whole image then that should probably be a method in
SystemNavigation, not PackageInfo. PackageInfo *defines* a package (its
name is somewhat misleading, could also be PackageSpec).

Your fixes look fine though.
