Subject: Bug#507091: /usr/bin/xgettext: xgettext: fails to detect 'gettext -e'
    and 'eval_gettext -e' strings

Package: gettext
Version: 0.17-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/xgettext

While 'gettext "abcde"' in shell script is well recognizeable,
'gettext -e "abcde"' is not recognizeable at all. Similar with
'eval_gettext'.
