My manual solution
In order to have the extension enabled I have manually linked the contents of etc/jupyter/jupyter_*_config.d/ into the etc/jupyter/ directory of my environment.
Happy to offer a pull request to the documentation if there is a cleaner solution for that.
Thank you for your attention.
