I was able to build gettext outside buildd without java but unfortunately it depends on many packages including libcroco3 that no long exists in archive.
In sbuild chroot, we have the following problem: nstalling build dependencies Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Reading state information... The following additional packages will be installed: dose-distcheck The following NEW packages will be installed: dose-distcheck sbuild-build-depends-dose3-dummy 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded.
