i still think that it is stupid to have to maintain 2 separate (but 
hopefully identical) versions of 1 file in a repository.
this is error-prone.

if a build system depends on this behaviour, than (imo) there should be 
a script (since we are talking about debian we can use standard 
bash-scripts or whatever) that makes a local copy of the files from 
(say) pd/src to externals/build/include
so the duplication should be on the client machine (because it depends 
on it) and not on the server (for convenience reasons)

since this sounds perfect to me, i understand even less why it is 
handled like it is (but i don't have too much time too)

right,thanks

but i guess this cannot handle things like creb's extlib_util.h and 
zexy.h; (but they can probably handled withthe h-includes (?))
