Is there a problem with standalone externals or what? If the
prepackaged externals should only be linked with the "parent" Pd
version then you could use %_libdir/%name/extra for such and
%_libdir/pd-externals/ for the standalone

Actually, here, at ALT Linux we have rather strict packaging
requirements (no arch-specific data in /usr/share, etc) -- the package
will simply not build if you don't hold to them, so my build might be
different in some things from the community one.

Anyway I am still interested in discussing the packaging things in right
