It does *not* need to be generated during build.  In fact, generating .pot
files during build is actively harmful if you have gettext domains for
multiarch libraries.

I investigated this with Sebastien Bacher on IRC; from the build log, it
appears the problem is actually that pkgbinarymangler has update-notifier
blacklisted, which means the translations tarball (containing the .pot file)
is never generated.  We don't want to directly revert that because that
would cause pkgbinarymangler to *also* strip out the .mo files from the
binary packages... so a more subtle fix is required.

In the meantime, thanks for the manual upload.
