I think it's the maintenance issue. I can understand the need to flush everything out, then start adding the solid, maintainable externals back in ... although I think sssad is both solid and maintainable already.

Ja, that's why I distribute sssad with my lib. It would be nicer to have it as a pd-ext standard IMO, so those of us who use it in abstractions can stop packaging it.

Are there any objections to me following Hans' guide and adding it? What about the Debian packaging issue? I suppose I can do that too if needed ... as well as volunteer to be the maintainer. I want to push my patches into pd-ext soon anyway.
