Just to note: AFAIK all Debian packages that currently use the "pd-" prefix belong to the "pure-data" universe, just like Python packages have a "python-" prefix.
There is no formal "reservation" of that namespace, but I would expect quite some confusion if there are a few totally unrelated packages using the same naming scheme.

There's even an exusting pd-mapping package....


So I humbly suggest to pick a name that reduces confusion, if possible.
