Details:

When packaging gnustep-back for debian, we must install all the stuff in a
tempdir, not in GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT (wich is not writable because autobuildd
machines don't build packages as root)

. /usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh; \
/usr/bin/make install \
INSTALL_ROOT_DIR=<tempdir> \
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR=<tempdir>/usr/lib/GNUstep/System

Making install in Fonts...

replacing $(GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT) by $(GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DIR) in
Fonts/GNUmakefile.postamble and creating the target dir solves the problem.
(see attached patch)

About fonts, we want to distribute Helvetica fonts in a separate binary-all
package. It implies that we need to install them separatly.
Please, could you add a flag (like fonts=no) in -back GNUmakefile which
disables fonts installation ? It would save us to apply/update a pach at each
release. (see attached patch)
