I fixed zipios++ in exactly that way: $ cat debian/patches/pkg-config.diff Description: use pkg-config instead of cppunit-config cppunit-config (and AM_PATH_CPPUNIT) was removed in cppunit 1.14 Author: Rene Engelhard <r...@debian.org> Origin: vendor Forwarded: no Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/862126 Last-Update: 2017-05-08 --- zipios++-0.1.5.9+cvs.2007.04.28.orig/configure.ac +++ zipios++-0.1.5.9+cvs.2007.04.28/configure.ac @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ AC_ARG_WITH( AC_CHECK_LIB([z], [inflate], , AC_MSG_ERROR([zlib is required to compile $PACKAGE.]), [$ZLIB_LDFLAGS]) AC_CHECK_LIB([z], [zError], AC_DEFINE([HAVE_ZERROR], [1], [Define if zlib has zError]), , [$ZLIB_LDFLAGS]) -AM_PATH_CPPUNIT(1.6.0) +PKG_CHECK_MODULES(CPPUNIT, cppunit >= 1.6.0) # Checks for header files.

I thought of giving advance warning so people can adapt and not just come over with a (RC) bug later... And that's why I said that it's available on people.debian.org :) If it was me who officially maintains cppunit in Debian it would already be in NEW.
