Possibly related to dh_autoreconf: Since autoconf 2.71 has entered the archive, it often complains about outdated macros, asking for 'autoupdate' to be run. Example: dh binary --builddirectory=build/ dh_update_autotools_config -O--builddirectory=build/ dh_autoreconf -O--builddirectory=build/ libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'build-aux'. libtoolize: copying file 'build-aux/ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. libtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' configure.ac:42: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' is obsolete. configure.ac:42: You should run autoupdate. m4/libtool.m4:100: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is expanded from... configure.ac:42: the top level configure.ac:48: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_CC_C99' is obsolete. configure.ac:48: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/c.m4:1659: AC_PROG_CC_C99 is expanded from... aclocal.m4:1899: XORG_COMPILER_BRAND is expanded from... aclocal.m4:2018: XORG_COMPILER_FLAGS is expanded from... aclocal.m4:2190: XORG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS is expanded from... configure.ac:48: the top level configure.ac:52: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' is obsolete. configure.ac:52: You should run autoupdate. m4/libtool.m4:100: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is expanded from... configure.ac:52: the top level Running 'autoupdate' indeed makes autoconf stop complaining, but it also results in dpkg forcing us to create a patch against autoconf.ac, which is IMHO the wrong approach. Unless I'm mistaken, this is a case similar to updating config.guess and config.sub, so there should be a way to tell dh_autoreconf to run 'autoupdate' without making dkpg complain.
