The 'pd-extended' package can now co-exist with the official 'puredata' package, hence the binary being called 'pdextended'. It should show up in the applications menu, so that's a bug. As for pdsend/pdreceive, install 'puredata' to get those. Ultimately, I think those will go into a pd-common package or something like that.
pd-utils is what i proposed; i think this neatly lines up with other *-utils or *-tools packages...
*-common is usually for infrastracture that the real packages depend on; neither Pd not PdX _need_ pdsend/pdreceive..
anyhow, i think that Pd-extended should provide an "alternative" for /usr/bin/pd.
see http://github.com/umlaeute/puredata for how i roughly implemented the package split and alternatives for /usr/bin/puredata
