puredata package changes

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Would it make sense to also add the versions since it won't build with  
the 'puredata' package 0.43 or newer, something like:

puredata-dev | puredata << 0.43

Also about puredata-core, it has a menu item set by puredata- 
core.menu.  That means that you could have puredata-core installed  
without the GUI, but having it launched from the Menu.  Since  
the .desktop file is puredata.desktop, I propose moving the .menu item  
to puredata.menu also.  I think it would be confusing and not useful  
to have a menu item that used to launch a GUI, but now might launch  
something that might not have a GUI.

About puredata-extra, I am planning on making the 'pdextended' package  
"Recommend: puredata-extra" instead of including the same source and  
binaries.  Would it be ok to change the Depends: for puredata-extra to:

  puredata-core (= ${binary:Version}) | pd

.hc
