After some further experiments I must admit failure:
I can't get automake to include Makefile.common where I need it. It is
included much too late instead, long after e.g. DISSECTOR_SRC has been
used.
Does anyone have ideas how to make automake include the stuff in the
right place?

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
