[PD] pd-extended should go into /usr/lib/pd-extended (was Re: ~/pd or ~/.pd for user's externals directory)

i very much like this. for the linux-packages, i therefore would also ask to:

• install into /usr/lib/pd-extended/ rather than /usr/lib/pd/
• startup as /usr/bin/pd-extended rather than /usr/bin/pd
• use a different settings file (e.g. ~/.pd/pd-extended.settings)
• remove the package-conflict between pure-data and pd-extended

for the user who prefers to start Pd via the menu, this will not change much.

for the user who prefers running Pd from the console (or scripts) this will eventually require a change, which could be alleviated by using "alternatives" (man update-alternatives)

This is a separate issue.

i know that it is. i thought i'd just chime into mike's idea because i like it.
