 So in addition to the gettext pseudobug (#385235), we seem to have an
 incompatibility between the latest gettext and automake 1.4/1.7.  These
 versions are still in active use, which makes it impractical to include a
 gettext in etch that doesn't support them.

Simple question: Is this the kind of bug that may be forwarded upstream
and fixed?

Alternatively, if it helps, I could greate a gettext-0.14 package on
which older packages could build-depend (the same way they already
build-depend on an old automake).

Thanks.

I'm filing this as a separate bug, because whereas the other problems are
caused by deliberate behavior changes (indeed, improvements) in gettext,
this is a regression that can be fixed by removing gettext.m4's and po.m4's
dependency on newer automake macros.

Cheers,
