what i mean by pd-application is centered around the application rather 
than pd: the app just happens to be written in Pd and comes with 
externals as needed.
an example for such an application is iem's CUBEmixer
(https://iem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/iem/spatialization/CUBEmixer/trunk)

i have no objections to using a directory called "packages".
i was only objecting to put every single configuration into 
pd/src/configure.in

pd/src/configure.in is the configuration of pd-core (vanilla,...)
imho, it is not the place for the configuration of (e.g.) zexy.
