i agree, that the prefixes should reflect the "Depends:" clause.
("pdextended-iemmatrix" should thus 'Depend' on pd-extended)

however, i don't see, why "pd-iemmatrix-multifile" (this is _not_ a
proposal for a good name) should not be able to run with "puredata" (if
the user deliberately choses so), so one should not tie this package to
"pdextended".

the question is, how much will break in reality.
people using [import iemmatrix] and consequently using [mtx_egg] will
not experience any degradation in flavour.
people wanting to use [mtx_*] with multifile have a stale flavour anyhow.

anyhow, until pd-hexloader is packaged, this discussion is quite moot
anyhow.
i don't think that switching from single-binary to multi-binary in the
package would cause much trouble.

though now i have created some ITPs for various iem-packages, including
iemmatrix ;-)
