Well... by having a look at the README in the official package from Jean-Yves.
"apt-get build-dep mail-notification" most likely installed abit too
much stuff as things have changed abit between 4.x and 5.x, but you
might have already installed autotools as it's a _very_ common
dependency for other packages.
