[PD] pd-extended 0.42.5 packages for many Ubuntu releases, i386/amd64

[dreamer]

Well, I've seen systems break before when doing this (take an ubuntu

Have seen horrible dependency problems result from it (maybe not
immediately, but somewhere down the line).

So yes, I consider it a really bad idea (bad practice?) and I will never
ever do this :P
