Dear Maintainer,

For the ppc64el architecture in Ubuntu, since this package uses libtool, a full
autoreconf is necessary. This is because we need new libtool macros for
ppc64el.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Use dh-autoreconf to fix FTBFS on ppc64el.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen

This email closes autotools/autoreconf in packages that have 
successfully been built on all current release architectures.

debhelper defaults to updating autotools files since January 2016,
which automatically fixed many of these bugs and makes explicit
updating for these packages obsolete.

debhelper compat 10 defaults to running autoreconf,
making manual adding of dh-autoreconf mostly obsolete.
Updating to compat 10 is a better solution than adding dh-autoreconf, 
and compat < 10 is expected to become a lintian warning before buster.
