To be able to make packages that build from source - that would be the TEI files or even their sources - it will be required to package the "FreeDict tools", eg. as "freedict-dev", which will have to be listed as "Build-Depends". The c5 formatting way is working, but the entry formatting still needs some improvement. After releasing the dictd c5 formatted databases, I can join the efforts to update the Debian packages.
