Hi Steve,

Since I'm the formal uploader of this SRU proposal, I'd better say
something, even if I think that e.g. Laney and Didier are better
prepared to comment on the approach.

For several cycles dh_translations has used its own, pretty simplistic,
heuristic to detemine both the gettext domain and the build system. The
introduction of Meson added some complexity:

- Not as straightforward to find the domain
- A need to figure out the build directory

So even if the actually used build system could be detected more easily
(I'm not able to tell), we'd still need code to figure out the domain
and the build directory.

The proposed upload is in substance just a backport of the version of
the dh_translations script used in Cosmic, where it has proved to be
helpful AFAIK. If there is room for improvements, can it wait until the
19.04 cycle, so we don't delay this SRU?
