Bug#497353: Bogus warnings from intltool-update

[Yevgen Muntyan]

Package: intltool
Version: 0.40.0-1
Severity: normal

When running intltool-update it prints lots (that is many terminal
screens) of warnings like the following:

Use of uninitialized value in regexp compilation at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 305, <FILE> line 147.
Use of uninitialized value in regexp compilation at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 305, <FILE> line 882.
Use of uninitialized value in regexp compilation at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 305, <FILE> line 882.
Use of uninitialized value in regexp compilation at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 305, <FILE> line 2597.

and

mismatched quotes at line 41 in ../moo/moopython/codegen/argtypes.py

The latter is about python triple-quoted strings (I believe). I "fix" 
the former by removing -w from intltool-update's shebang, and the 
latter by commenting out the line that prints it. Both are useless 
IMO: I, the intltool user not knowing perl, don't fix intltool; and 
mismatched quotes one is just bogus, there aren't mismatched quotes.
