Couldn't we make a compromise and build a libtool-debian package that ships a patched version? This way, packages that have to run autoreconf can just use dh-autoreconf without having too care about libtool. That's especially useful for the GNOME stack. That should be a matter of building a normal version, then applying the patch and building a version with --program-suffix=-debian (of course, you might still need to rename the dir where ltmain.sh is located). -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
