For the record: The next upload of gettext for unstable (whenever it will be)
will move gettext.sh to /usr/share/gettext and will have /usr/bin/gettext.sh
as a symlink to it.

Whether that's temporary or definitive, I don't know yet, but it would
not be wise to do more than that at this point.

The author usually fixes bugs in a portable and elegant way, so I hope
he and the people who maintain the FHS agree on the right location for
gettext.sh.
