Bug Description

apt-get install puredata-gui results in an executable puredata-gui which fails with

$ pd-gui
Error in startup script: couldn't execute "/usr/lib/puredata/tcl/../bin/pd": no such file or directory
    while executing
"exec -- $pd_exec -guiport $::port &"
    (procedure "main" line 19)
    invoked from within
"main $::argc $::argv"
    (file "/usr/lib/puredata/tcl/pd-gui.tcl" line 759)

reason is that the package has

Depends: python3, tk (>= 8.4), tcl8.5 | tclsh
Recommends: puredata

where puredata should be listed under Depends.

Additionally, the package puredata installs the package puredata-dev, which should not happen in my view as that is not for normal user usage.
