This is a good idea. And as far as I can see this is correct.

But it does mean for a git checkout people now need to have gettext-
tools installed (but not for a released build). I don't know if all the
buildbot workers have it installed, so when you do check it in please
keep an eye on 
https://builder.wildebeest.org/buildbot/#/builders?tags=elfutils

It might also be an idea to list the maintainer dependencies in the
README file (we don't currently list any others though).

Thanks,

Mark
