Hey ico,<br>
<br>
I'm curious why you made the pd-l2ork package conflict with all of the<br>
puredata packages. As far as I can tell, it only conflicts with<br>
puredata-utils. It would be very handy if pd-l2ork could live in parallel<br>
with pd and pd-extended.<br>
<br>
And in terms of lowering your maintenance load, you could remove lots of<br>
libraries from pd-l2ork and instead set them in Depend: and have them provided<br>
by the official packages that are already in Debian and Ubuntu. You can see a<br>
listing of what's included in Debian here: look for all the packages that<br>
start with pd-<br>
