My bad!
The location in both cases is in fact not:
/usr/share/aisleriot/bonded.svgz
but:
/usr/share/aisleriot/cards/bonded.svgz

Playing aisleriot spider (in Ubuntu) I found occasionally it was
awkward to find out what was in a long column because the suit markers
of eg the BONDED pack are below the card value, and once a column is
very full, you can only just see the tops of the cards. If they are
all eg red you don't know whether they are all hearts or all diamonds
or some of each.
I like BONDED best, and could not find an alternative I liked in
gnome-cards-data. Tango is the only one that fits the bill but I
can't look at that!
So I used inkscape to edit a desktop copy of
/usr/share/aisleriot/bonded.svgz and moved the suit markers to be
adjacent to the card value.
For each of the 52 cards, select the card image and:
1 Object properties, and COPY the ID eg club_1
2 CTRL SHIFT G to ungroup it; ESC to deselect all the components
3 With the mouse, select and and move each of the four suit markers
4 SHIFT rubber box to select all the now altered components
5 CTRL G to regroup them
6 Object properties and paste back the remembered ID in both the
main ID box and (preceded with #) in the inkscape ID box (no idea what
that latter is for, but it puts things back the way they were at 1)
and click SET
Save the file and use it to replace (take a back up somewhere else
first!):
/usr/share/aisleriot/bonded.svgz
This needs to be done either with a CLI starting sudo cp (since the
target directory belongs to root) or via GUI by sudo nautilus
Relaunch aisleriot and enjoy.
