Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.60 Severity: important
New cdbs package today breaks builds where Autotools are regenerated via DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_* and there is no DEB_ACLOCAL_ARGS declared in debian/rules, and where the source packages do not have an `m4' directory. I stumbled across this while building my gtklp and opendchub packages.
