Hi.

I took on the task of packaging pd-extended for Debian a couple of
months ago and got some help from Hans to get started. 
While at the Debian Conference 2013, I thought I'd try and see if I
could get it ready for upload during this week.

A problem I'm having is with the exectuable for pd-extended.
At which end would it be best to change "pd" into "pd-extended"?.  I'm
thinking this is done in the makefile.
Sorry to say, my knowledge of building software with the gnu tools is
still elementary.

How is pd-extended maintained, the source itself? The picture I got was
that it's puredata plus patches by Hans. In this case, I suppose it
would be good to also patch the makefile.
Or, is there a reason to keep the executable "pd" by default?
