Hi Vincent,

Thanks for the review.

Ah, good call. I discovered that it's now possible to pass --twice to
pbuilder through --git-pbuilder-options, I'll make sure to test with
that in the future.

I disabled the recreation of vba.pot through the xgettext, because the
tarball embeds an up-to-date copy (commit 58ae0d). I tried to
regenerate the .po files at build time, but this fails to build twice
in a row because the timestamps change.

I tried but unfortunately this does not work, because it recreates a
lot of files (INSTALL, etc) and dh_autoreconf_clean deletes for
example mkinstalldirs. It should be possible to save these files and
restore them (writing a lot of logic), or repack the tarball, but just
calling the autotools manually is the least ugly IMHO.

Oops, I switch my workflow from gbp-pq to using quilt directly and
didn't pick this habit. Fixed (0182f1).

I also moved the clean targets do debian/clean (ca35ff).

I repushed the package to alioth and re-uploaded the .dsc to mentors
at the same URL.

Thanks again!
