[PD] Pd-extended 0.42.5 release candidate 6 released!

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Its never possible to fix all known bugs in a given release.  The  
combination of the big single package that Pd-extended currently is  
with the single packages for each library in /usr/lib/pd makes for a  
very complicated situation.  So its much less work to just wait for  
went Pd-extended is also packaged as one-lib-per-package, then this  
will be solved with very little work.
