[PD] ubuntu ppa's

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Roman, IOhannes, Alexandre Quessy, and I have all joined the Debian
pkg-multimedia team to get this stuff into Debian, and therefore
automatically into Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.  Its quite easy to join, so
I am trying to get more people involved.  So far we've gotten a bunch of
Pd libs into Debian, so these should be all included in Ubuntu 11.04:

pd-arraysize
pd-bassemu
pd-beatpipe
pd-comport
pd-earplug
pd-freeverb
pd-iemnet
pd-libdir
pd-motex
pd-plugin
pd-pmpd
puredata-import

We've also been working on getting gmerlin-avdecoder into Debian.  Its
quite close, but Roman and IOhannes have been working on it more than me
recently, so I don't know the status. I've got a few more packaged up
and am uploading them for review right now:

pd-pddp
pd-ekext
pd-markex
pd-mjlib
pd-pan
pd-pdogg
pd-sigpack
pd-smlib
pd-windowing
