I'm also a new maintainer, and dictd is my first package, so it's
doubtful that I could give you much help, but I'll be glad to try if
you have problems. You should subscribe to debian-mentors, if you
haven't already. A number of very experienced developers read that
list and are very quick to respond with helpful answers.

The old WordNet packages used usr/lib/wordnet/dict/. I believe
either /usr/lib/dict/ or /usr/lib/dict/wordnet/ (since wordnet installs
about 25 files, it could justify its own subdirectory) would be
appropriate. As far as I can see, all three of these choices would
conform to the FSSTND. When we move to the FHS, I believe they would
go into /usr/share.
Regards,
Bob
