gettext, autopoint and cvs

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Hello.

I asked maintainers of packages using autopoint in its build system to
add autopoint to build-depends. Two months later, there are still ten packages
affected:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=gettext@packages.debian.org

Today a new upstream version of gettext has been released, and I would
like to move the autopoint functionality to the autopoint package as
planned.

Do I have the permission from the release managers to do this and
raise the severity of those bugs to "serious"?

The bugs are trivial to fix, there has been enough time to fix them, and
I think it's about time to perform the next step.

Thanks.
