And, as I just realized, this in itself could be problematic. Are we
going to add "Depends: make" to the emacs lisp packages that do this
in their postinst? I guess we could, but it seemed a little
unsettling when I first realized that it would be required.

Well, I don't see how to fix the "needing files that aren't available"
problem (when does this happen?), but the multi-directory make process
shouldn't be a problem. There's no reason the hook file for tm in
Guy's proposal couldn't just execute
(cd <tm-dir> && make)
I do agree that there are other complexities to work out.
