[Bug 1688994] Re: dh-translations: cannot build POT without intltool

[Sebastien Bacher]

dh_translations does
$domain = $1 if /^GETTEXT_PACKAGE\s*=\s*(\S*)/;

which work for most projects which have a configure.ac with 
GETTEXT_PACKAGE=<domain>
AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE)

but gnome-sudoku has
AC_SUBST([GETTEXT_PACKAGE], [gnome-sudoku])

it should be easy enough to add a case/regexp for that syntax
