but *I* am looking for a solution that makes the cmdline utility more usable -
even if it requires changing things.

i still don't understand what you mean by "delete the dummy external".

probably something like the following:

~~~
cp context/foo/bar.pd_linux  context/
deken package --version 0.1 context
zip -d context\[v0.1\]*.dek context/bar.pd_linux
rm context\[v0.1\]*.dek.*
deken upload context\[v0.1]*.dek
~~~

the above *should* work (the principle; i haven't run any of the commands)
but heck, the worst thing that can happen if it doesn't
work is that you there has been some bogus upload to puredata.info, which can
manually fix; or that there hasn't been an upload at all.
