The library was included in gettext-base but it was splitted to its own package in version 0.18.1.1-6 and a compatibility dependency was added. We could drop this dependency for stretch, yes, but even in such case you could still ask "why gettext-base is installed on all systems, even in the supposedly clean and minimal buildd chroots". I don't have an answer for that, but for very slow systems like m68k it is probably not a good idea to have a buildd chroot too much clean and minimal. You would spend a lot of time installing and uninstalling debhelper and its dependencies over and over again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-68k-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
