Details:

Given the attached appdata file, the strings from the <releases> element are
extracted:


$ /tmp/gettext/bin/xgettext  -o - ~/example.appdata.xml

If I explicitly pass '--its=/tmp/gettext/share/gettext-0.20/its/metainfo.its`'
then the release notes are correctly ignored:


$ /tmp/gettext/bin/xgettext
--its=/tmp/gettext/share/gettext-0.20/its/metainfo.its -o -
~/example.appdata.xml 
# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.

I can reproduce this with 0.20.1 (compiled locally), with Fedora's 0.19.8.1
and with Endless OS's 0.19.8.1 (which comes from Debian Buster).

If I strace xgettext I can see it reading /usr/share/gettext/its/metainfo.its
so I'm not sure why it's not being applied.
