If we compare pd-extended to how Debian/Ubuntu packages are

One package for each object class, if you want to call them that, seems like overkill though. Infact in Debian Etch you can currently install:
gem - Graphics Environment for Multimedia - PureData library pd-aubio - aubio external for PureData puredata - realtime computer music and graphics system pd-zexy - Addon library for Pd
Not sure exactly why we're having this conversation since it seems
to be taken care of quite capably by GG already.
It would be nice to have the rest of the libraries as Debian
packages. What's available now is just a small subset of what should
be there.
Any volunteers? The package I made is just a quick hack to make
things easier to install. I hope it gets replaced soon.
