I looked at this PR. Why do you want this change?
Right now if you write:
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects
bin_PROGRAMS = wish
wish_SOURCES = generic/a.c generic/b.c
... you end up with `.deps/generic/a.Po'.
The PR asks for `generic/.deps/a.Po'.
Does it make a difference?
As I recall the reason things are done this way is that it is a little
faster to compute the .Po file name when we don't have to change the
directories.
On the other hand, changing this might let us have `..' path
components. I don't see that as a very high priority, but I'd welcome
a patch.
