About 7 have been uploaded to Debian, but the NEW queue doesn't seem  
to get touched until they release Squeeze.  But I could be wrong on  
why.  In any case, they are in the NEW queue.  For the rest, I need to  
wait on the puredata-dev package.

I'm lazy, deleting easier than doing a proper upgrade procedure and  
versioned source package.

They are in the pkg-multimedia git repo, for example:
