Thanks! Installs without problems, and after restarting emacs,
customize-group refdb works as expected. I don't have a local setup
yet to test further, because the server runs on a different machine,
which leads me to the first of the following suggestions:

- How about separating the refdb deb package into refdb-server and
  refdb-clients? Then, many users will just need to install the latter
  on their machine. And, refdb-elisp should depend on refdb-clients.

- If ted is only needed to display .rtf, I think refdb-elisp should
  not depend on it (and probably not on xpdf and gv either), as other
  choices exists.

Great work!
Justus
