Title:
  Teach dh_translations how to deal with meson

Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  dh_translations is currently not capable to find the gettext domain
  and generate the translation template on packages which use the meson
  build system. It would be convenient if it was.

  I started to think about code changes, but got stuck:

  I suppose that we'd better use ninja instead of intltool-update for
  such packages, and if so, we need to pass the build directory to the
  ninja() call. How would we do that?

  Or would we use intltool-update also for such packages?
