Thanks for the hints. Indeed the jessie key is missing on my system,
Raspbian wheezy. I was looking in the wrong place anyway because
Raspbian has it's own repository. A recent version of
raspbian-archive-keyring exists (2014-10-19) and it probably has the
jessie key, however this keyring version is not available in Raspbian
wheezy without at least a partial upgrade to jessie. Rather than
experimenting with mixed sources, I preferred to build and install
puredata without verification. The whole procedure (if I noted
everything correctly):

First make sure to have packages devscripts and fakeroot installed.
Then on command line:

$ dget -u -x http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/p/puredata/puredata_0.46.2-1.dsc
$ cd puredata-0.46.2
$ sudo mk-build-deps -i -r debian/control
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
$ sudo dpkg -i ../puredata*_0.46.2-1_*.deb

Notes:

Each command must be on a single line (layout may be perverted in the
mail transfer). The mk-builds-deps step removes the following packages
which came with Raspbian: jackd jackd2 libjack-jackd2-0 qjackctl
sonic-pi supercollider supercollider-server. Build dependency
libjack-dev depends on libjack0, which in turn can not coexist with
libjack-jackd2-0. IOhannes has explained the reason for this build
dependency earlier on pd-list
(http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2013-10/104620.html). It
should be no problem to reinstall jackd2 after building puredata.

Building puredata on Raspberry Pi takes a long time, maybe an hour or
so. While building, I accidentally removed the .dsc file. At the end
of the build process there were errors from gpg about the secret key
being not available. These things did not prevent dpkg from installing
the packages. I'm happy to have bleeding edge puredata installed on
Raspberry Pi.

Thanks IOhannes, for keeping puredata packages up to date.
