Subject: Bug#284637: wrong location or perms on /usr/bin/gettext.sh

Package: gettext-base
Version: 0.14.1-6
Severity: minor

/usr/bin/gettext.sh is non-executable and to be sourced by shell
scripts. However, the FHS says that /usr/bin is "this is the primary
directory of executable commands on the system."

If /usr/bin/gettext.sh can be made executable, then please make it.
Otherwise, it should be moved to /usr/share/gettext.

I am making this bug minor rather than serious since the policy does
not really say that /usr/bin must not contain non-executables.
However, gettext.sh seems to be the only file in /usr/bin that is
not +x.

Thanks,
