Package: tar
Version: 1.15.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Hi, 
tar 1.15.1-3 FTBFS on many archs with the following error:

[...]
/bin/sh /build/buildd/tar-1.15.1/config/missing --run autom4te 
--language=autotest -I . testsuite.at -o testsuite.tmp
/build/buildd/tar-1.15.1/config/missing: line 52: autom4te: command not found
WARNING: `autom4te' is needed, but is missing on your system.
         You might have modified some files without having the
         proper tools for further handling them.
         You can get `autom4te' as part of `Autoconf' from any GNU
         archive site.
make[3]: *** [testsuite] Error 1

It probably misses a dependency on autoconf.

Thanks,
Roberto
