#1141301 gettext FTCBFS: python3 dependency not satisfiable

Source: gettext
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: important
Justification: breaks architecture cross bootstrap

gettext regresses architecture cross bootstrap by having introduced a
"python3" build dependency. This is interpreted as a host architecture
interpreter. It is not installable for cross builds and not available
during early bootstrap. A build architecture interpreter will do. I'm
attaching a patch for your convenience. Note that cross builds need to
be performed with the nojava profile for now.
