Actually, that reminds me, I would like to have the Pd-extended package use a directory for people to install their own externals. On Mac OS X, it's /Library/Pd following those conventions. I am thinking that /usr/local/lib/pd/ should be the user-installed stuff, with everything going in there (i.e. help patches, binaries, and .pd files). Then the .deb should install into /usr/lib. This means it would conflict with the 'puredata' package that's included in Debian, but it's the "proper" way to do it.

If you wanted to truly follow the OS X directory layout, externals and such installed by the Application should be in: /Library/Applcation Support/Pd
while user-installed externals etc. would go in: ~/Library/Applcation Support/Pd
Which would allow different users on the same system to have different configurations.
BTW, extended is looking really nice on Leopard, no crashing here. :) Thanks for the hard work.
