BTW, what you're calling package manager is the application specific folder
no not really (well, half-true).
the application-specific folder can be a number of things. it will only be /usr/lib/pd/extra, if Pd is installed into /usr (that is /usr/bin and /usr/lib/, as opposed to e.g. /usr/local/{bin/lib}).
it get's even more complicated, when dealing with different flavours of Pd. the original draft [1] we came up with, which would allow (binary) compatible Pd-flavours to co-exist and share the same package-manager installed libraries was: Debian's "puredata" package's application specific folder is /usr/lib/puredata/extra, but it *also* searches /usr/lib/pd/extra. the former is meant for binaries that are not "compatible" with other flavours. the latter would be searched by flavours like Pd-extended. with the demise of PdX this has become somewhat obsolet (with current Pd-flavours like Pd-l2ork actively refusing any notion of compatibility, and rather investing time into re-packaging everything from scratch), but there you go.
