i very much like this.
for the linux-packages, i therefore would also ask to:
- install into /usr/lib/pd-extended/ rather than /usr/lib/pd/
- startup as /usr/bin/pd-extended rather than /usr/bin/pd
- use a different settings file (e.g. ~/.pd/pd-extended.settings)
- remove the package-conflict between pure-data and pd-extended
for the user who prefers to start Pd via the menu, this will not change
much.
for the user who prefers running Pd from the console (or scripts) this
will eventually require a change, which could be alleviated by using
"alternatives" (man update-alternatives)
