Hi,
I don't think that /usr/share/doc/gettext/README.Debian is
good enough, no. Espescially since the user is not normally aware
that theya re using gettext, which they are not, directly. They just
called autoreconf, which is a pretty popular script in autoconf.
I am not sure where this cvs dependency should lie; I am
pretty sure it should be in gettext, butif y'all arrange for autoconf
to have this dependency, that would be a step better than not. I
still think if gettext needs a widely used binary (autopoint,
whetrher directly or indirectly through autoreconf) to work only with
cvs installed, then cvs should be a dependency.
Ideally, putting a CVS repo in a tarball, as opposed to the
different versions of the file actually used, should be a practice
that is retired.
