In both cases, I can run

make 
MODULE_TOPDIR=../../../../grass70_release/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/

from the respective directories in the grass-addons svn tree without any 
problems.

AFAIU, #2097 also has similar issues: here g.extension installs 
everything fine, but then the installed script cannot find the 
additional (library) files.

So, maybe I should reformulate my original question:

When a python addon uses additional .py files,

1) Do we have general rules as to what should be installed where 
(r.modis installs additional files in a r.modis directory in the local 
addons directory : .grass7/addons/r.modis - should addons create such 
directories there or should they go into .grass7/addons/etc ?

2) How should the Makefile be formulated so that all the additional 
files get installed by g.extension ? This currently does not seem to 
work for at least i.segment.hierarchical and v.class.ml.
