[Bug 1751820] [NEW] Learn dh_translations how to deal with meson

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Public bug reported:

dh_translations is currently not capable to find the gettext domain and
generate the translation template on packages which use the meson build
system. It would be convenient if it was.

I started to think about code changes, but got stuck:

I suppose that we'd better use ninja instead of intltool-update for such
packages, and if so, we need to pass the build directory to the ninja()
call. How would we do that?

Or would we use intltool-update also for such packages?
