This 'mode of installation' issue is interesting.
I've been able to successfully install pd-extended yet, via the Software Centre in Ubuntu Oneiric, by right-clicking on the .deb file and opening with Software Centre.
I've yet to try installing via Synaptic. And yet to try this method below. Before I do either, I believe I must uninstall all vanilla pd, using apt-get remove, and de-installing all related pd packages in Synaptic.
So this comment was interesting, which I found in the pd forum here, http://puredata.hurleur.com/viewtopic.php?pid=33184#p33184
It suggests using dpkg to install with, so that any missing dependencies are reported. vis;
cd /folder/with/download/package sudo dpkg -i pd-extended.deb

yep running great now, that cyclist was tricky for some reason it would pop up back in the synaptic to be installed when selecting some other packages to be removed
