[bug-gettext] gettext source contains help2man. Is this really needed?

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

While fixing the previous bug I noticed that the build process
modifies msgfmt.1. This is because we modify msgfmt so that it always
output little endian.

But I don't really want msgfmt.1 to be modified just because of this.

In the past I used to insert a suitable "touch" command somewhere in
debian/rules so that msgfmt.1 was not considered "outdated". Is there
any better way?

Should help2man be really part of the gettext source tarball? I would
think that it is on the same level as automake or autoconf.

Thanks.
