To satisfy the other two percent, a better solution IMO would be to make a pd-nogui patckage, that would conflict with the normal Pd package, so that only one can be installed. This has predecessors in the various flavours of vi(m) and emacs that can be chosen on Debian.
How about splitting it into two packages, pd-nogui.deb and pd.deb, so pd would depend on pd-nogui.deb. It's like installing (e.g.) gvim, which depends on vim-common, that contains a console version of vim.
No, vim-common does not contain the console version of vim. vim-common only holds the data shared by all vim packages, like help-files. The actual binaries of vim are in the packages called vim, vim-gtk, vim-tiny, vim-python etc. Among these, the package "vim" provides a vim binary with the most standard feature set. The other packages are for people who "need more (or less)".
That could be a useful solution for Pd as well, however I'd rather see work being done on splitting off a package of just the externals from pd-extended than bothering too much with making the main pd package even smaller, when those (few), who need that, can just roll their own.
