The fix seems to have the expected result (install-reloc not invoked) under 
kFreeBSD:

  make[4]: entrant dans le répertoire « /usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/src »
  test -z "/usr/games" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine/usr/games"
    /usr/bin/install -c freedink freedinkedit 
'/usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine/usr/games'

Though, I'm wondering if it would be better to always invoke
install-reloc somehow.  We'd probably have spotted this issue earlier
if install-reloc were invoked under GNU/Linux as well.  WDYT?
