Hmh... Our default interpreter is 1.9.1 as of Wheezy, and we are
already starting the process of removing 1.9.1. The affected version
of gettext is present only in stable. In any case, I'd suggest you
make this change explicit, by uploading a -2 stating in debian/control
that 1.8 is no longer supported.
