Yeah, makes sense also to me.

Why?

You seem to ignore the fact, that there are pd-libs around in the wild,
that are _not_ part of Pd-extended and thus would be very useful to be
used together with Pd-extended, but unfortunately do not work
out-of-the-box, because pdextended doesn't look in /usr/lib/pd.

I'd propose to add /usr/lib/pd as the last path in the search order, so
that it wouldn't interfere with everything installed
in /usr/lib/pd-extended. I don't see how this would hurt with the
current behaviour. When having pd-motex installed and using some objects
from motex, still /usr/lib/pd-extended would be used (instead
of /usr/lib/pd, where pd-motex installs to). Nevertheless, [wiimote]
from pd-wiimote which installs to /usr/lib/pd would be found.

Please enlighten me, if I am overseeing something and my proposal would
actually break something.
