How many people would chose to use ubuntu Oneiric, use a pre-built binary for Pd-extended, AND not have X? I would hope that small group would reconsider using Oneiric for something a bit more streamlined and would likely be compiling their own minimalist Pd --- certainly not Pd-extended.<div>

<div><br></div><div>While one probably exists, I know of no other pre-built binaries in ubuntu which intentionally are missing dependencies preventing them from running in their default modes. Pd's default is to use X.</div>

</div>If it would be a 'Depends:', then there wouldn't be a way to install<br>
Pd(-extended) without pulling in a whole X-server setup. I think it<br>
should stay a 'Recommends:'.<br>
