If we compare pd-extended to how Debian/Ubuntu packages are structured for programming languages like Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, etc., then pd-extended would be a few dozen packages already.
That seems the most sensible approach for Pd in Debian to me - several packages; one for each group of similar externals and each libray. One package for each object class, if you want to call them that, seems like overkill though. Infact in Debian Etch you can currently install:
gem - Graphics Environment for Multimedia - PureData library pd-aubio - aubio external for PureData puredata - realtime computer music and graphics system pd-zexy - Addon library for Pd
Not sure exactly why we're having this conversation since it seems to be taken care of quite capably by GG already.
Best,
