#1048662 hex-a-hop: Fails to build source after successful build

Hi,

This package fails to build a source package after a successful build
(dpkg-buildpackage ; dpkg-buildpackage -S).

This is probably a clear violation of Debian Policy section 4.9 (clean target),
but this is filed as severity:minor for now, because a discussion on
debian-devel showed that we might want to revisit the requirement of a working
'clean' target.

More information about this class of issues, included common problems and
solutions, is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/SourceAfterBuild

Relevant part of the build log:
The full build log is available from:
http://qa-logs.debian.net/2023/08/13/hex-a-hop_1.1.0+git20140926-1.1_unstable.log

If you reassign this bug to another package, please mark it as 'affects'-ing
this package. See https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control#affects

If you fail to reproduce this, please provide a build log and diff it with mine
so that we can identify if something relevant changed in the meantime.

Note: There is a recent change in gettext 1.0 which may be relevant:

/usr/share/doc/gettext/NEWS.gz

TLDR: The PO files are source code. Source code is not meant to be
changed during the build. Maybe you can avoid that by forcing a more
recent set of gettext macros.

Thanks.
