Package: debhelper
Version: 7.4.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

automake 1.11 introduced the concept of “silent rules”. The output looks 
much nicer with them, however they are not suitable at all for building 
packages, especially on buildds. It sometimes makes a build error much 
harder to debug, simply because you can’t see the command lines that are 
actually executed.

The fix is very simple: pass --disable-silent-rules to configure in 
Buildsystem/autoconf.pm.
