Charles: 

i found /etc/init.d/pd-extended and added

su -c "pd whetever.pd" pi 

(am i supposed to specify the exact location of the patch?
 /home/pi/Desktop/pd/whatever.pd)

then
$ chmod a+x /etc/init.d/pd-extended
$ update-rc.d pd-extended defaults 99

i rebooted but no pd patch on startup

Hans:
i also tried editing /etc/default/pd-extended by un-commenting 
RUNPDDAEMON=yes
DAEMON=/usr/bin/pd-extended
and i set the patch location
and the user: USER=pi

still nothing on start up. perhaps there is a conflict between Charles' and Hans' instructions?

Pd-extended Debian packages should install /etc/init.d/pd, otherwise you can get it from pure-data SVN: trunk/scripts/debian.

Edit /etc/default/pd to change the startup options.
