Hello.

It would be nice if xgettext would support JavaScript source files. 
There is a patch to do this at 
http://github.com/AndyStricker/gettext-javascript
but when the author proposed this to upstream, he doesn't seem to have 
got any response: 
http://old.nabble.com/Gettext:-xgettext-JavaScript-scanner-backend-td27706865.html

So it would be nice if Debian would apply this patch while waiting for a 
response from upstream.

Thanks!
