If so, please, send me your changes and I'll upload a newer >release :) [You wrote me in private. I have taken the liberty of responding through the related bugreport, to share our discussion with the public] I backported libtool 2.x. If the Gnash package had used CDBS I could enable libtool regeneration elegantly in only a few lines, and would be happy to share the changes. Gnash packaging use a more classical packaging style that would require more care to do the same thing. Not much work, probably, but enough that I chose to not spend time on ensuring the sanity and stability of various rebuilt autotools, but found it quicker to setup a chain of build environments and backport that newer libtool. If interested in CDBS-style packaging, then have a look at unicap (which contains nice patches from you already!) for a recent and relatively complex autotools package, and sugar-toolkit-0.86 (yes, the version number _is_ part of the source package name!) for a recent simpler example enabling autotools regeneration but only when flagged to do so (i.e. not on build daemons!). The simplest fix for this bug is to tighten build-dependency to be on libtool (>= 2) and build-depend on libltdl-dev (which was only provided by libtool 2.x) instead of libltdl3-dev (which is a transitional package in Sid and won't work in the earlier releases when it was a real package. ...or at least that is my understanding (I might be wrong).
