i don't know which apt-repository you are using, but mine is etch/sid 
(standard debian), and they give me:
puredata: 0.39.2-1
pd-zexy: 2.1-2 (which is from 2005-08-16)
gem: 1:0.90.0-18 (which is the last stable release, though rather 
old...my fault)

i have to admit, that my "currency" was based on a quick glance at the 
zexy version number, which is rather recent...

yes that would be really great.
i was recently thinking of a pd-netinstaller, which would download and 
install collections of objects on demand, rather than having one huge 
pd-extended which provides all. (for those who have fat connectivity and 
want to get all at once, we can still provide the "ISO-image"...)
