cloned the git head of coreutils, and ran 'bootstrap', after updating gettext from -proposed.

First run failed:

./bootstrap: autopoint --force
sh: 1: build-aux/git-version-gen: not found
/usr/bin/m4:configure.ac:451: cannot open `m4/cu-progs.m4': No such file or directory
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
autopoint: *** Missing version: please specify in configure.ac through a line 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(x.yy.zz)' the gettext version the package is using
autopoint: *** Stop.

I then updated autopoint, also from -proposed, and ran bootstrap again, successfully.

Only comment here is the new gettext package should depend on the updated autopoint as well. But this is sort of moot on a dist-upgrade.

Tagging verification-done.
