Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59-2
Severity: normal
Installing the autoconf package should not mess with Emacs startup to
autoload the package `autoconf-mode' for the command `autoconf-mode'
and override the autoconf-mode entry in `auto-mode-alist'. The
autoconf-mode.el that you end up with is apparently intended for
developers of Autoconf, not its users, i.e. developers of configure
files.
I wrote autoconf.el for the usual case of someone wanting to edit
configure.in and then Emacs DTRT by default. The rather few people
for whom autoconf-mode.el is relevant should load it explicitly. The
clash of names is unfortunate, but the naming in Emacs was considered.

This bug was fixed in 2.59-4 and somehow it didn't get closed.
Here's the appropriate changelog entry:
autoconf (2.59-4) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/rules: Install autotest but not autoconf mode, because Emacs
has a built-in autoconf mode that is better, according to its author.
Closes: #237109.
* debian/autoconf.emacsen-startup: Don't autoload autoconf mode anymore.

God leaned close as mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked.
"What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely. "Everything must have a
purpose?" asked God. "Certainly," said man. "Then I leave it to you to think
of one for all this," said God. And He went away. --Vonnegut, _Cat's Cradle_
