No problem for Debian, we are building snapshot releases from plain git already without issues. In fact, there are already some explicit rm/clean rules in the packages to force rebuilding some (most?) of the pre-built files. Most notably, we are also rebuilding "configure" using autoconf 2.71 without issues. Perhaps we can get rid of the 2.69 hardcoding there? Thanks for the heads-up, Christoph
