Why are my gnome extensions not listed in gsettings?

I want to automate my Ubuntu install and for that I also want to automatically install extensions and apply my settings.

Unfortunately, if I install my extensions via the browser, I can not get my settings from the gsettings tool.

If I view my extensions using the dconf editor like described here, I can see my settings, but in gsettings the schema just does not show up. The Ubuntu default extensions do show up though.
