I need to check whether pdsend/receive is indeed identical before making any calls on that matter. Even then if one has to uninstall pd-utils due to conflict with pd-L2ork what would that mean to the rest of the install as far as pd-extended is concerned? Would it still work, or is pd-utils a dependency (as far as I can tell it should be a dependency because otherwise pd wouldn't work without it)?
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.
