Dear maintainer,

would it be possible to backport this patch to Debian stretch? The inkscape project is facing the problem that we can't build on Debian stable because xgettext crashes. (Bug report for reference: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/271 )

Command for testing:
/usr/bin/xgettext -f /dev/null --its /dev/null

Before the patch, gettext 0.19.8.1-2 segfaults. With the patch, it works (i.e. successfully does nothing), and Inkscape can be built properly.

To test the patch, I manually applied the debdiff to 0.19.8.1-2. (I applied it manually instead of using debdiff-apply, because debdiff-apply is not yet present in stretch.)

Kind Regards

Max
