I know this has been suggested before, but the Debian way to do it
would be to have puredata as a Debian package, as it is now, and sets of
externals as their own Debian packages, as is the case with pd-zexy (mad
props to G. Geiger!). So puredata-extended should not include puredata,
but only externals. This is probably even more work, and we'll see even
less hands going up to volunteer. I've tried to start doing it myself on
more than one occasion and was defeated pretty quickly. One thing that
is true of pd-extended is that it exists; most other similar efforts
are vapourware. Argh, confused flu-infused ramblings.

Best regards,

Chris.
