Package: heroes
Version: 0.21-6
Severity: serious

Hi,

building the package heroes in a clean sid build environment
(with pbuilder) on i386 results in:

=========================================================================
[...]
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/buildd/heroes-0.21'

=========================================================================

As documented above, the *.gmo files are removed because they were changed by 
the build process. Unfortunately, this leads to the problem now reported by
dpkg-source.

A possible fix is having a backup of the orig.tar.gz shipped gmo files and
copying them back in "clean". Yes, an ugly fix, but for a broken design
(gettext generated gmo files) anyway. Repackaging the orig.tar.gz doesn't
seem to be reasonable here.

Thanks for considering.
