Which reminds me: Debian's policy handles documentation in some
special way, which I need to read up on, but things like html-docs,
pdf-Howtos etc. should be in /usr/share/doc/pd-something, whereas we
can keep the patches in /usr/lib/pd/doc. Moving the files with
Debian's package tools is easy, however if they are called from Pd
(like the html-manual) we need to take special care. Though, for now I
would be happy to get a current package of pd with externals running,
wherever the docs show up in the end.

Ciao
