Note that only the utilities for creating the "message catalogs" need to be
taken from experimental, as libc6 includes the gettext library functions.
And I think we should be distributing the gettext utils in main, if it
cannot be distributed it's non-free software, and we can't have
bash/fileutils/etc.. build process depending on non-free software that we
can't distribute.
