Yes, debian packages!
so what you suggest for a successfull pd installation on a ubuntu machine is to download this: http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/pd-2006-12-04-linux-debian-...
reading your email again, i understand it better: the suggestion is not to install the files tagged with "debian" on an ubuntu system but to use a special packaging format, which by chance is used by both debian (thats why it is called "debian-package" or ".deb") and ubuntu (which is really just a polished up debian clone).
building debian packages on the autobuild farm would eventually result in having different packages for debian-stable, debian-testing, ubuntu-hoary. (because of the very problem of dependencies)
i hope i could make this somewhat clearer.
