Since I am not installing Addresses but I m packaging it, I've tried

make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=$(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT)
make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=tempdir/$(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT) install

But that didn't work, then I also tried to set
GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT=$(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT) 
but of course that didn't work.

Finally I decided to use symlinks for this release.
I will change that later.

But I've also found another problem.
Files in French.lproj and German.lproj (in AddressManager,
Frameworks/Addresses and Frameworks/AddressView subdirectories) make
dpkg crash when dpkg tries to unpack them (yes, crash, never seen that
before...).
I ve tried to change encoding but that didn't work.
So, I've got a question :
What encoding these file should use ? UTF-8 ?

For this release, I've removed all French.lproj and German.lproj dirs.

I would like to do a suggestion for Addresses :

Add some GNUmakefile.preamble files in Goodies subdirectories, to allow
building goodies without installing all frameworks.
This is not really needed for normal users but it would make life of
maintainers easier.
