Is there a an easy way to include a bunch of directories recursively, rather than adding each of the 30+ paths available in usr/lib/pd/extra/ alone?

be aware that [declare] and [lib] behavior just changed a bit; they now scan sub-directories of:
- 1 calling patch folder
- 2 paths that you declared in Pd preferences
- 3 standard paths (e.g /usr/lib/pd/extra or ~/.local/lib/pd/extra)

So whatever the way you chose to install "foo" library, i.e whether "foo" folder has been copied locally to the patch, or in "/myHome/myLibs" (provided that you declared "myHome/myLibs" in Pd's path preferences), or in "/usr/lib/pd/extra" (because you used apt-get), all you have to do is put a [declare -path foo] in the calling patch so you can use objects from "foo".

with my Debian hat on: the choice should always be to use the Debian
repositories, whenever possible.
(sometimes this may not be possible, as not all (although most known)
Pd-libraries are packaged; or when you need a release of a given library
that is newer than Debian/stable).

there is also the "pd-deken-apt" (Debian) package, which allows you to
install the Debian packaged libraries from within Pd (using the deken
plugin)
