this unfortunately does not work.
you will end up with a file `/usr/bin/pd-extended/pd`

the way it is handled in the `puredata` package is by using the standard
configure option `--program-transform-name='s/pd$$/puredata/`

another way would be to override the dh_auto_build target and do the
renaming there.
a totally untested snippet:
<snip>
override_dh_auto_build:
  dh_auto_build
  cp bin/pd bin/pd-extended
</snip>
