I think the best "default" default would be to put things in ~/pd/extra, assuming there's no problem writing to that (and, I suppose, assuming it isn't shared among multiple users of the same machine).
I guess it's customary to put per-user application specific configurations and other data in a hidden folder, so e.g. ~/.pd or ~/.pd-externals or ~/.local/share/pd/ etc.
To my mind ~/pd/extra is not that different to ~/pd-externals in that it still forces the user to have a non-hidden folder in their home directory. Whenever applications do this I find it mildly annoying.
I'd like to get a better understanding of all this n part because I'd like to incorporate deken into Pd vanilla assuming its developers are cool with that.
I don't know about IOhannes [who at this point has probably contributed more lines of code than me to deken] but I am definitely cool with that.
If this happened it would probably make sense to split the tcl plugin out to go into Pd vanilla and keep the deken packaging script as a separate project.
I mean, I would be ok with having both in Pd but I am not sure you'd want my weird hybrid Python-LISP Frankenstein code hanging around in Pd's repository (although we are getting close to Halloween so you never know).
