i think the problem here is mainly the usage...

how did you test?
Then I tried uninstalling 0.45.4 and the installing 0.46.7 but that gave me no Pd at all ...

any Pd application launcher in your desktop menu is provided by Debian directly (*not* by Pd-vanilla). so if you uninstall the Debian package, you uninstall the launcher (with the fancy icon).
the Debian application launcher also explicitely starts the Pd version installed by Debian (/usr/bin/pd). so even if you have a /usr/local/bin/pd that is really a disguised max9 binary, clicking on the launcher will give you a good and proper Pd.
however, you can still start any Pd in /usr/local/bin, e.g. by running it from the console or by simply creating your own launcher.
