Bug#307811: blender: missing build-dependency

[Santiago Vila]

Package: blender
Version: 2.36-1
Severity: important

[ I'm not sure about the severity. Should this be "serious", because of
  it being a missing build-depends? I do X-Debian-Cc to Steve Langasek
  just in case, as both release manager and submitter for Bug #307749 ].

The blender package depends on libgettextpo0, so it should have a
build dependency on libgettextpo-dev, which is a virtual package
currently provided by gettext, but there is *not* any warranty that
it will always be there, so a simple build-dependency on gettext is not
enough and might break at any time.

I see also that a hardcoded dependency on gettext has been added to
fix Bug#247624. Such dependency is artificial and IMHO should be removed.
The real bug was in gettext (see my explanation in Bug#273782), and
should be fixed in gettext_0.14.4-2. The shlibs mechanism should
already ensure that packages depend on what they should depend.

Thanks.

"important" is the correct severity, until such time as you actually change
gettext packaging and blender starts to FTBFS.
