Worst comes to worst, Pd and Pd-extended runs best on Debian-based distros like Debian, Ubuntu, pure:dyne, etc.

pd-extended might work on pure:dyne (after all, it's Debian with extra packages), but it won't ever be in the live distro, and installing it will remove all the supported pd externals from pure:dyne (they depend on puredata, which pd-extended conflicts with, or should if it has been packaged properly).
One of the main reasonings behind Pd in pure:dyne is to package each library on its own, to avoid both the maintenance nightmares of a huge package build system and the tricky timing involved to get "all externals working at once". Each package can be tested separately and upgraded separately, increasing quality and saving bandwidth.
BTW, pure:dyne has packages for pdp + friends, with no pdp_metro_setup issue:
$ nm -D /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp/pdp.pd_linux | grep metro 0000f9f0 T pdp_metro_setup
So I guess the original issue is another pd-extended bug.
