Its never possible to fix all known bugs in a given release. The
combination of the big single package that Pd-extended currently is
with the single packages for each library in /usr/lib/pd makes for a
very complicated situation. So its much less work to just wait for
went Pd-extended is also packaged as one-lib-per-package, then this
will be solved with very little work.

Pd-extended 0.42.5 is done, so it'll stay as is.
Ok. Since you called, I thought I'd report what I think needs to be
fixed.
Pd-extended 0.43
will work with /usr/lib/pd. For 0.43, only libs that require Pd-
extended will be installed into /usr/lib/pdextended.
Sounds good, though I still don't understand why not fixing it right
now.

Yeah, makes sense also to me.
and ignores /usr/lib/pd.
Why?
You seem to ignore the fact, that there are pd-libs around in the
wild,
that are _not_ part of Pd-extended and thus would be very useful
to be
used together with Pd-extended, but unfortunately do not work
out-of-the-box, because pdextended doesn't look in /usr/lib/pd.
I'd propose to add /usr/lib/pd as the last path in the search order,
so
that it wouldn't interfere with everything installed
in /usr/lib/pd-extended. I don't see how this would hurt with the
current behaviour. When having pd-motex installed and using some
objects
from motex, still /usr/lib/pd-extended would be used (instead
of /usr/lib/pd, where pd-motex installs to). Nevertheless, [wiimote]
from pd-wiimote which installs to /usr/lib/pd would be found.
Please enlighten me, if I am overseeing something and my proposal
would
actually break something.

The next step for Debian packaging for Pd-extended is having each
lib
in its own package, and then making a 'pdextended' package which
provides 'pd' and is just the core. That will then look in /usr/
lib/pd.
