Bug#285419: lintian: errors from po-debconf

[Ron <ron@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.4
Severity: normal

Hi, I'm filing this against lintian initally, even though it
seems to me more like a problem with intltool-debian to me.
But the start of the chain is the new lintian upload:

$ lintian wacom-tools_0.6.6-4_i386.changes 

 *** The intltool-extract script wasn't found!
 *** Without it, intltool-update can not generate files.
W: wacom-tools source: newer-debconf-templates

$ INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=/usr/share/intltool-debian/intltool-extract \
  lintian wacom-tools_0.6.6-4_i386.changes 

I'm not sure if lintian should set that, or if intltool-debian
should have put it in the path somewhere, or why this did not
occur for anyone else yet...

thanks,
Ron
