It is very simple, before you upload dpkg you type these commands (remove
them from the build script too)
autoconf
autoheader
gettextize -f
libtoolize -f
automake -a
This is what all other upstream sources do and I think it should be okay
to include the gettext stuff inside the tarball of dpkg. This way dpkg
does not need gettext, automake, autoconf, or libtool to build.
