[debhelper-devel] Bug#857795: /usr/@DATADIRNAME@/ only showed up with the recent -fPIE rebuilds: Maybe a debhelper or build system bug?

    Hello!

Since the issue is a result of some gettext/intltool variable deprecation
(probably over a decade ago), I suppose that some never autotools script
(autopoint probably) just dropped it, so problem appeared.
