As you could probably guess, this is my first time delving into the
autotools stuff, so I did not realise that lbdb is using only
autoconf, but not automake. This led me to believe that files like
Makefile.am were missing, compared to other autotoolized packages.
To avoid further confustion about it, the file conigure.in should contain some comments, that lbdb uses some automake configure macros, but not automake itself. And it should state, that additions to aclocal.m4 should be made in acinclude.m4 and aclocal generates aclocal.m4.

So finally automake is needed for some development issues, but as long as aclocal.m4 is provided, in most cases autoconf will be sufficiant. Thats some kind of development dependency, which is far beyond the scope of debian packages. So it need not to occure there.
