ACK. gettext.sh in /usr/bin is like dropping your pants on the front
door explaining it with "will never forget them when I leave the house".

Just FYI: some packages (at least one I maintain) have a hardcoded path
to /usr/bin/gettext.sh _without_ checking for its existance. Removal of
this file would break them immediately. Therefore we should have a clear
transition plan before changing the current locations (and this should
be done after Sarge, of course).
