it is packaged fine, but not as a file but as a symlink that is created
at installation time, or whenver the admin chooses to enable a different
default window using the "update-alternatives" mechanism.
so on most Debian machines, you will have a "gemdefault.pd" symlink that
points to "gemdefaultwindow-glx.pd"

i am not surprised, that a simple repackaging tool does not catch this.

do not fuddle wit 0.93.3; even less so with binaries from this release!
