*** Please type your report below this line ***
Debian Squeeze's version of autopoint has a hard dependency on git.
I believe this should be changed to Recommends, so that people who
work with bleeding edge git sources can still use autopoint.

That does not make much sense. autopoint is a tool to copy or update
standard gettext infrastructure files into a source package. If your
sources are "recent enough" that you don't have to update anything,
then you just don't need autopoint at all to begin with.
In either case, we can't relax the dependency, because several packages
have autopoint in their build-depends, and autopoint uses git
internally, so it HAS to work when invoked, no matter what.
