gettext-tools is not Essential:yes, so that won't be a problem. But xz:BuildDepends:gettext-tools, so making a dependency cycle would be a problem. If I understand gettext-tools (ha!), autopoint can use any of several compression schemes to create an internal-use archive of...something. It gettext-tools buildtime autodetects what's available and hardcodes the autopoint to use that one by default. Our build is currently non-deterministic in that it apparently whether xz is present and the resulting executable embeds that info. Seems like a bug that it doesn't have fallbacks at runtime. But I think we can also force non-detection of xz at buildtime (just like we do for some other compression schemes).
