but obviously the intention is to abandon some libraries
That is certainly not true. You're looking from the wrong perspective. It's not the case that someone decides _not_ to include certain libraries, it's more that some people are interested in doing the work to get certain libraries included. In the case of pdp there is not even a need for that effort, since it is already included, as IOhannes pointed out. Also here on my ubuntu 10.04 system:
~$ aptitude show pd-pdp Package: pd-pdp Version: 1:0.12.5-1ubuntu1
Feel free to become a member of the pkg-multimedia team in order to push the packages you want into Debian. I don't think that anyone would object to having also pidip and unauthorized in the repositories.
( once again and again, unilateral decision without discussion )
Thanks for starting that discussion now.
