[Po4a-devel] Duplication with po4a-build

There is an intrinsic problem in po4a-build to do with source packages
that build a lot of binary packages. The manpages are generated for
each binary package, which causes duplication.

Without refactoring po4a-build in perl (which might happen eventually),
one way to handle this is to remove the duplicate with a CLEAN= value
in the conf file. That wastes build time but prevents the packages
containing the same files in the same locations.

(This came as a result of testing with emdebian-grip - for now, I'm
going to stick with only translating the script output of those
packages.)
