We've gone a different way on this in raring that doesn't require this
change; see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=683751.

Title:
  Crossbuilding fails due to needing gettext:any in build-deps

Status in “grep” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Installing the cross- build-deps for grep currently fails.

  From: http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/quantal/sbuild-
  ma/grep_2.12-2-quantal-ma-cross-armhf-20120822-031218.4977.log

  Cross-deps: Running apt-get -aarmhf build-dep grep
  Reading package lists...
  Building dependency tree...
  Reading state information...
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   debhelper : Depends: po-debconf but it is not going to be installed
  E: Build-dependencies for grep could not be satisfied.

  That is actually because po-debconf and grep both depend on gettext
  which is MA: allowed in ubuntu so defaults to the host-arch (armhf).

  Adding :any to the gettext build-dep to indicate that the build-arch
  version is actually fine fixes this.

  patch attached
