Hello,
I have moved the autogen.sh call before dh_auto_configure and have also managed to fix the gettext problem by replacing the gettext command with autopoint. autopoint does basically the same thing as gettext, but without that naging user input request. I haven't made these changes upstream yet, before you tell me that this is an acceptable solution. If this is acceptable, I will make a new upstream release and repackage without any patches. The only warnings left right now are: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-maintainer-mode and dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libpthread.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/clipit/usr/bin/clipit" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). but this last one is unnecessary, because my program actually uses functions from libpthread.so (pthread_exit), so it needs that library...
