Package: gettext
Version: 0.14.5-2
Severity: normal

Automake has obsoleted the use of 'mkinstalldirs', but this is still
installed by autopoint, and is still used by po/Makefile.in.in.

Automake defines a macro, AM_PROG_MKDIR_P, to create $(mkdir_p), to
replace $(mkinstalldirs).  If AM_GNU_GETTEXT could use this (or its
own copy internally), gettext would use the same mkinstalldirs
implementation as the automake-generated Makefiles, which would
allow the total removal of mkinstalldirs from projects using both
automake and gettext, and make such projects self-consistent
internally.

Roger
