Huh? This thread was about "make dist", meaning that we have been 
talking about the source tarball. When talking about binary packages, 
then of course gnucash.pot is no longer necessary, as is all the rest of 
the source code. Maybe I shouldn't have said "packaging", but this 
discussion was really about our original source tarball and not about 
binary packages.

Agreed - a binary/distro package doesn't need gnucash.pot and neither 
any other source code or .po files.
