Bug#532730: Makefile.in.in distributed by intltool is missing ctags stumps

[Chow Loong Jin]

Package: intltool
Version: 0.40.6-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

When using an autotools-based build system, which has "po" added to SUBDIRS of
the top-level Makefile.am, `make tags' works, because there are stubs in the
Makefile.in.in which is installed into po/. However, `make ctags' fails with
"make[1]: *** No rule to make target `ctags'. Stop.". Looking into the
Makefile.in.in distributed by intltool reveals that there is a missing ctags
stub, which would otherwise allow the rule to succeed. The `tags' stub is
already included, which is why `make tags' succeeds.
