Sorry for the delay on this. I've just uploaded -2. I didn't have a whole
lot of spare time last week and pbuilder wasn't cooperating.
I don't want to:
* Use upstream autotools (v1.4!)
* Depend on automake
I do want to:
* Be able to change autotools-related things in my source package
* Respond to (or just plain avoid) FTBFS bugs about out-of-date stuff
* Conform to /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz
It looks like I was able to achieve these goals by running:
autoreconf --force --install
On the source tree before building.
Note to Florian: those are only "patches" from your perspective. All of
those files are automatically generated by autoreconf/aclocal/autoconf/
automake/etc. None of them are written by hand (or *shudder* merged into new
version source trees).
