* add a depend line.
* check that python is installed.
* call python directly, rather than using $(PYTHON) (I could find
no use of the $PYTHON variable in any other packages.
I originally choose /var/lib/... because makfa.dump can be updated by
the makfa program. /usr/share/... is for read-only data, which this
most certainly is not.
The best solution for this problem would be to have some kind of
/ovelay/var/... directory that is copied at boot to /var/... This
would allow files that need to be persistent in /var/... to be so,
but would permit the flexibility currently seen for I/O heavy uses
of /var/...
Ater a discussion with xiangfu, we decided that modifying the
base-package to support an overlay on /var is too much work to do
right now, and that we would use /usr/share/... for the time being.
