This one sounds like it's worth tracking down. Do a little digging through
the makefiles to compare what happens for the following three makefile
targets:

make canonical (unpacks the dictionary)
make distribution (uses make canonical)
make install (??)

If you can read makefiles and use grep, this shouldn't be too hard to nail.
