Thanks for having a look.
One thing I like to mention: The upstream sources come with a Makefile
based on a apparently old Makefile template for libdirs. It was pretty
broken and created superfluous directories in debian/. I copied over the
current template, adapted it and applied it as a quilt patch. Is that
the proper way to do it?

Yeah, dh_strip apparently does not consider .pd_linux files as shared
objects and also there is no way to force it by passing it file names as
arguments. 

I used the strip command from a mail by Felipe Sateler [1]
