hi, if I run sudo apt-get install puredata, it installs 0.43 and with extra packages,
assuming that "extra" packages refer to expr/bonk~/sigmund~/..., these *are* part of Pd-vanilla.
why isn't it 0.45 and pure vanilla?
because you are using an outdated distribution?
afaik, raspbian is based on Debian/wheezy. now Debian/wheezy has been released 2013-05¹. Debian releases follow an extended "freeze" period, in which only bugfixes are accepted in the to-be release (and no new or updated software can enter the distro). this boils down to Debian/wheezy only containing Pd-vanilla 0.43.
Is the current vanilla only available at Miller's website?
no. Debian/jessie (the upcoming release of Debian) *currently* contains Pd-vanilla 0.45-5 (and if any other Pd-releases are done until the next Debian-freeze, they will be included).
i have recently sent some instructions on how to (try to) build uptodate Debian packages for an outdated Debian release on this list (directed at max). you could try to follow these instructions.

¹ the have been numerous bugfix releases of Debian/wheezy since the original release, the latest on 2014-04-26; however ,bugfix releases are just that: they fix bugs. new releases of software packages are not included.
