two more remarks:
- - while the desktop-files is named "puredata.desktop", it is actually
installed by puredata-core (whether this is good is debatable; i only
wanted to say that - despite it's name - it is not installed by
"puredata", so it's not a good candidate for analogies here)

- - puredata.menu could (and should) provide more dependency
information, e.g:
> ?package(puredata-core,puredata-gui)
so it will only show up if puredata-core _and_ puredata-gui are
installed (even if "puredata" itself is not)
