I've submitted a merge request to the gnome-team for the original patch,
with some minor typos fixed in the commit message:

  https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/intltool/-/merge_requests/2


While there has been no upstream release of intltool in quite some
years, this patch has been in upstream revision control since 2017 (as
of now, it is the *only* patch that isn't already in the version in
Debian).

Please consider merging this patch and uploading, as it should fix
reproducibility issues for several other packages. Or would you consider
it acceptible to NMU?


Thanks!


live well,
