But how could it break?

If you built it once, and then removed a file, `make pot` wouldn't
break because it remake POTFILES.in, and `make` wouldn't break because
po/ is up-to-date.  The only thing that could break is going into po
and using an explicit make target, and ONLY IF _YOU'RE_ THE ONE who
removed the file since the last `make pot'.  C'mon.
