i cannot speak for pd-extended, only for puredata (the debian package
of pd-vanilla):
i haven't yet seen a pd that "depends" (in the sense that it doesn't
work without) on pdsend/pdreceive.
those two utilities are needed soleley to send data from outside to Pd
(in the case of pdsend) or to receive data from Pd (in the case of
pdreceive), transmitted over the network.
you can even use pdsend/pdreceive without pd (in case you are lacking
netcat/telnet).

therefore, puredata-utils are totally optional.
the "puredata" package nevertheless 'depends' on it, for backward
compatibility of the packaging.
however, "puredata" is only a meta-package, that depends on a number
of component packages: you can install those components
(puredata-core, puredata-gui, ...) separately, and get a fully
functional Pd.
