This doesn't look well. I know that the proposed patch is not elegant at all (really hacky in terms of macro processing), and I understand that upstream will be moving away from autotools in future releases thus applying this patch might not be the ideal choice. However, having this package FTBFS in the archive forever is definitely not a good choice either. For example, such FTBFS might block any future transition in the near future (e.g., openssl-3.0 as in https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-openssl.html ). I don't see any benefit with procrastination on it. Thanks, Boyuan Yang signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Dear maintainer,
I've prepared an NMU for transmission (versioned as 3.00-1.1) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/5. Please feel free to tell me if I
should delay it longer.
Regards.
