great, it works, thanks !
I followed your advice of the "dh_autoreconf" package and the adapted
debian/rules file and then I could successfully compile Pd 0.50 on both
laptops (and on a third laptop with Linux Mint 17.3).
In case someone searches info to compile and install recent versions of
Pd on older Ubuntu computers I summarized the whole procedure at the end
of this email.
Can I help in some way to spread or upload compiled Pd versions for
Ubuntu and derivatives? For sure I am not an expert in compiling
programs, I just started trying this a week ago but maybe it can help in
making Pd available for more people...
best, Hans
------------compiling Pd for Ubuntu 14 or 16 systems
First make sure these 5 packages are installed (commands in the terminal
like "sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev" etc.):
libjack-jackd2-dev portaudio19-dev equivs debhelper dh-autoreconf
Next execute these commands in the terminal:
1) export LANG=C
2) MAINREPO=https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/
3) PDVER=0.50.2-1
4) sudo apt-get install devscripts
5) mkdir -p build
6) cd build
7) dget -u ${MAINREPO}/p/puredata/puredata_${PDVER}.dsc
8) cd puredata-${PDVER%-*}
9)a) echo 9 > debian/compat
b) in the build/debian folder, search for the 'control' file and in this
file change "debhelper-compat (= 12)" into "debhelper (>= 9)"
c) in the build/debian folder , search for the 'rules' file and change
"dh $@" into "dh $@ --with autoreconf"
10) sudo mk-build-deps -ir
11) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
12) sudo dpkg -i ../*${PDVER}_*.deb
(This last command to install Pd)

Next I ran the script of IOhannes line by line
export LANG=C
MAINREPO=https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/
PDVER=0.50.2-1
sudo apt-get install devscripts
mkdir -p build
cd build
dget -u ${MAINREPO}/p/puredata/puredata_${PDVER}.dsc
cd puredata-${PDVER%-*}
echo 9 > debian/compat
I changed the line "debhelper-compat (= 12)" in debian/control into
"debhelper (>= 9)"
since you are using quite old debhelper-package, you might also need to
install the "dh_autoreconf" package.
if that still doesn't work, you might also need to change the invocation
of "dh" in debian/rules to the following (indentation is <TAB> rather
than <SPACE>s):
<snip>
%:
dh $@ --with autoreconf
</snip>
