Initial Comment:
Hello,

I was looking at using puredata from debian, and currently, it's a bit of a 
mess, if I want to use PD + gem, I need to install both, and then mess up with 
config files, or, as the readme suggest (Readme.Debian), launch pd with an 
extenssive commandline:

| to start Pd with Gem support, issue the command (without the '%' sign)
| 
| % pd -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem -lib Gem
| 
| OR
| 
| use the provided script instead of directly starting Pd:
| 
| % /usr/bin/pd-gem
| 
| OR
| 
| start Pd
| - navigate to "File->Path..." and add "/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem" to the list of 
search-paths
| - click OK
| - navigate to "File->Startup..." and add "Gem" to the list of binaries to be 
loaded
| - click "Apply" and "Save all settings"
| 
| OR 
| 
| add the following lines to your ~/.pdrc file (deprecated)
| 
| -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem
| -lib Gem

I think it'd be better to automatially include a file, that's what this patch 
is all about (and to be able to make a pd extenssion debian policy).

tell me what you think
