Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For the ppc64el architecture in Ubuntu, since this package uses libtool, a full
autoreconf is necessary instead of just config.{sub,guess} updates with
autotools-dev. This is because we need new libtool macros for ppc64el.

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

  * Use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to also fix FTBFS on ppc64el by
    getting new libtool macros (still updates config.{sub,guess}).
  * Add newline at end of configure.in to fix FTBFS while autoreconfing.

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.
