Santiago, have you reached an opinion on whether you'd prefer to 1) split the gettext package into an MA:same libgettext-dev part and an MA:foreign gettext part (and change corresponding dependencies), or 2) mark it MA:allowed and change all the dependencies that only need the build-tool part to 'gettext:any' ?
Ubuntu is currently doing the latter, but as there are many such depending packages (521 in unstable), if we are going to do the (arguably more correct) package split in Debian, then it makes sense not to go crazy uploading hundreds of changes to Ubuntu which will later need to be reverted. I don't (yet) have strong opinions on this, but would like to know which way we are headed, or what more research is needed in order to decide that so that I can head in that direction too, rather than the opposite one. Do you in fact need someone to test out pj's patch against some builds to see if it is indeed a good solution? Direction, or requests for help, are welcome.
