It was moved to a file called Makevars, and the package maintainer is

The failure is expected. Upgrading from one gettext version to another
requires maintainer attention, in particular reading the gettext
documentation and the gettextize output.

It is wrong, because it will kill settings that the maintainer has
already made in po/Makevars.
