I actually have started my DM application before debconf10.  The  
DebConf people that I worked with said I should get someone who knows  
the stuff that I package to sponsor my DM application.  None of the  
debconf nyc localteam do any multimedia stuff.  So at this point, once  
I find someone willing to sponsor me, I can revive my DM application  
email and complete the process.

Sorry if I caused any trouble, I was just trying to make things go  
smoother.

Thanks for uploading pd-libdir!  puredata 0.43 has changed the way the  
headers are installed, so pd libraries that rely on certain headers  
will have to change once 0.43 hits the repos.  I think its important  
to get this stuff into Debian working with 0.42, and I'm willing to do  
the legwork of packaging first for pd 0.42, then updating for 0.43.
