For test purposes I made this change:

$ diff /usr/bin/dh_translations.orig /usr/bin/dh_translations
112c112
<           @cmd=('make', $domain . '.pot');
---
>           @cmd=('make', $domain . '.pot-update');

Then I built gnome-online-accounts locally, and the .pot file was nicely
updated.

So making that change to dh_translations seems to be an alternative way
to handle this bug. Possibly it's the right way.

One doubt is whether there is a risk that other packages, whose .pot
files are created via this command, have versions of po/Makefile that
don't understand the -update suffix. Or maybe it's a standard thing
which ought to work in all cases.

Another thing is whether there are packages with externally maintained
.pot files which we don't want to overwrite this way.

For now, if we are not sure about those things, and since it's urgent to
make the strings available to the translators, I'd vote for building
gnome-online-accounts with the patch I wrote.
