OK, I decided to place the wordnet dictionary in /usr/share/dict/wordnet.

At the moment I try to Debianize wordnet and have some trouble splitting
the package.  The former maintainer has made tree parts BEFORE starting
deb-make, that ends in three different *.orig.tar.gz files.  This is
not what I intended to do.  I want to prepare the rules file in this
way that all tree packages come from only one source (as it normaly
should be).

The problem is the following:
Wordnet comes in different dirctories:
     dict/
     man/
     paper/
     src/
The contents of dict/ should go into wordnet-base, the content
of paper/ should go into wordnet-doc and the content of
src/ and man/ should go into wordnet (more precisely not the
content but what you get if you go into the directory and type
make install in this directory).

According to the manpage of debstd I listed the files of dict/
in wordnet-base.files and the files of paper/ in wordnet-doc.files.
But both, wordnet-base*.deb and wordnet-doc*.deb are empty
after ther build process.  I spend now the whole afternoon to
make my rules file working but without any success.
I've read some rules files of other packages too, but havn't got
any clue how to do that.

I'm sure that this seems to be a simple task but I failed every time.
PLEASE HELP.

Regards

            Andreas.
