Source: gnunet
Version: 0.9.3-2
I doubt that the gnunet-server and gnunet-client packages should
have a dependency on gettext. FWIW, the Description: for the
latter reads:
Description-en: GNU Internationalization utilities
Interesting for authors or maintainers of other packages or programs
which they want to see internationalized.
However, these gnunet packages are hardly related to software
development or maintenance.
Also to note is that the gnunet source (as of 27505cba) doesn't
seem to mention neither the “public” (bin/) binaries provided by
the gettext package, nor the share/gettext and lib/gettext
filename parts in any of the files to propagate to the binary
packages (sans debian/changelog.) Consider, e. g.:
$ grep -rlE -- \
'\<(gettextize|msgattrib|msgcat|msgcmp|msgcomm|msgconv|msgen|msgexec|msgfilter|msgfmt|msggrep|msginit|msgmerge|msgunfmt|msguniq|recode-sr-latin|xgettext|(share|lib)/gettext)\>'

Although I haven't (yet) checked whether the aforementioned
packages are usable without gettext installed, I'd be surprised
to find they're not. So, unless that's the case, I suggest
dropping the dependency on gettext altogether.
TIA.
