I fully agree, and patches to fix this are welcome. I know this has bugged
me as well for a long while now while working on the code, but I am too scared
to get into autotools logic.

Probably the update-po (or po-update, I can never remember) make target should
be removed from any dependencies of other make targets, and should only be
invoked manually before the release?
