Sorry I not ((. Just discover issue and ask on IRC what used for gettext for
WML scripts.

during investigation I check this page:

 * http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Maintenance_tools

Seems that /usr/share/games/wesnoth/1.12/data/tools miss
srv/data/tools/GUI.pyw which is GUI for running wmllint/wmlscope and look nice
for non-tech people. It is good candidate for shipping.

In:

 * http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Translation_Maintainance_Commands#translation_related_utils

many utils that I don't understand that they do but most from src/wesnoth/utils
are in wesnoth-1.12-tools.

If you do this nice job it will be good to place wmllint, wmlscope,
wmlxgettext to PATH though "Debian alternatives system" which is done by

postinst scripts like:

  PRIORITY=27
  FLAVOR=1.12
  ALTERNATIVES="wmllint wmlscope wmlxgettext"

  for i in ${ALTERNATIVES}; do
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/$i $i /usr/bin/$i-${FLAVOR} ${PRIORITY}
  done

and prerm scripts like:

  FLAVOR=1.12
  ALTERNATIVES="wmllint wmlscope wmlxgettext"

  update-alternatives --remove $i /usr/bin/$i-${FLAVOR}

So you always install scripts to /usr/bin/wmllint-1.12, /usr/bin/wmllint-1.11,
/usr/bin/wmllint-1.10 and "Debian alternatives system" allow user select which
is better. But this require maintaining PRIORITY thought version upgrades...
