[Bug 924628] Re: package libapt-pkg4.12 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: './usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/libapt-pkg4.12.mo' is different from the same file on the system

[Steve Langasek]

David, I see that you have a branch linked for this bug.  The solution
you propose seems to have a couple of issues:

 - The .pot generation appears to no longer happen as part of the source build, ever.  This means that the .pot file may be out of date in the source package, impacting launchpad translation imports.
 - The header is being dropped from the .pot file to avoid introducing skew.  But the header provides important information to translators about whether there's a newer .pot that needs (msg)merged for their translation.

What we want here is for the .pot update target to be called in clean,
but with proper make dependencies so that it's only *actually*
regenerated when there have been source changes.  This is easily done
when using the standard gettextize makefiles, but is going to be
somewhat trickier with these home-grown makefiles for handling multiple
domains.
