 * kur-tur (and probably others) look for freedict-tools/mk/tools/xdf2tei.pl.
   Install xdf2tei.pl in /usr/share/freedict-tools/scripts/, make sure our
   Makefile.common knows how to find it there: set (and honor!) PATH.
+
+* Ideally, all scripts called from Makefile.common are just found in the
+  $PATH, so e.g.
+
+ tei2dict := $(toolsdir)/xmltei2xmldict.pl -n $(NSGMLS) -d $(XMLDECLARATION)
+
+should be
+
+ tei2dict := xmltei2xmldict -n $(NSGMLS) -d $(XMLDECLARATION)
+
+.  For backwards compatibility, we could do
+
+ tei2dict ?= $(toolsdir)/xmltei2xmldict.pl -n $(NSGMLS) -d $(XMLDECLARATION)
+
+in Makefile.common, and in our Makefile.Debian, do something like
+
+ tei2dict="xmltei2xmldict -n $(NSGMLS) -d $(XMLDECLARATION)" ... make
+
+.
+
+This way, we can create a FHS-compatible freedict-tools package.
+Furthermore, the Makefile.common will be usable in more setups.

 * We might not need to ship teiaddphonetics, nor depend upon dom xml, nor
   add support for scriptsdir: upstream seems borken:

 * For the ckb-kmr, deu-kur, deu-tur, eng-cze and alike dictionaries we
   must include the xdf2tei.pl script into freedict-tools-dev package.

+A build of a Debian package should never depend upon network

+stuff in our .diff.gz (if license allows this).
