This is because libasprintf (in gettext-base) and libgettextpo (in gettext)
are the only *supported* libraries.

The other libraries are not supported: They are not documented by
upstream, and packages should not use them, so that's why they do not
have a shlibs file. They are for internal gettext use only.

Hmm, this is a very bad thing which was never supposed to happen.

Does Blender *really* need libgettextlib? Previously, there was a
dependency on libgettextpo, but I don't see anything like that in the
Depends file anymore.

Seems like a bug in Blender. I think you should have not introduced
a dependency on libgettextlib without discussing about it first.
