[PD-dev] pd-extended on debian testing

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Arnout,

Since there aren't current testing builds, you're best bet is to build  
from source.  The comma error is fixed in SVN, but not in the source  
tarball.  So if you use SVN or rsync (search puredata.info for  
'rsync') to get the code, it should build a .deb.  There is only one  
debian/control, it uses the Debian tools to get the dep versions  
automatically at build time.
