Philippe,
I believe you DO want pyro stain for pt/pd printing: the stain
increases the contrast beyond what you can obtain with a non-staining
developer, just what you want. I'm sorry I have no references handy to
cite, but I seem to remember an article in View Camera magazine a while
back that covered this benefit in great detail.
