Hi,
First of all, thank you for hunting bugs this way. You seem to have
been looking for them (without encountering them by chance), and that
makes Debian better. :-)
However, in this case you seem to have found a non-bug. ;-)

No, it doesn't. Gettext provides the needed files as a tarball of a cvs
repository. What autopoint does, is to unpack this tarball and use the
repository locally. See /usr/bin/autopoint, from line 420, for what
it does exactly. No network access is attempted.

This would be true if the build would fail without network. Otherwise,
I would agree it would be a bug, but not because of violation of this
rule, since it wouldn't actually _require_ it, just use it.
However, as it is, it isn't a bug at all, since it uses
/usr/share/gettext/archive.tar.gz, which comes from main, not from the
network.
Thanks,
Bas Wijnen
