There may also be a ckan 2.0 specific branch in some extensions

yep, new jinja2 templates do not support the IGenshiFilter extension
point.  The resources are also handled differently so JavaScript needs to
be handled via the {% resource %} tag if it relies on JQuery or ckan code.
Extensions should now add content either via helper functions that they
define via ITemplateHelpers (will work for new or old/templates) or should
extend templates via {% ckan_extends %} tag for new jinja2 templates.
