We did switch to this layout a while ago, indeed after some talks around this issue, the only difference is that we use Pd vanilla and we package externals separately and we make everything possible to have 100% conform Debian packages. We start to have a pretty good
collection now.Wow, that's great news! That is quite a collection. It would be great to build upon this work to make official Debian packages for all this.
Well that's the plan :) If all goes well, sometimes in 2009 we'll be able to start moving what is packaged in p:d from the GOTO10 repos to Debian. (we'll be doing the same for our supercollider packages and all the stuff that is in p:d but not in Debian yet).
