This is not true, and I urge both the maintainers and any possible
NMUer to not apply this workaround.

The problem is that the libtool used in bibletime, which does not come
as an existing file in the original package (it's created from inside
the configure script) is broken. The libtool included in bibletime
claims to be from 2002.

Running the same line for the same conftest file with the libtool
included in Debian works fine.

I'm not sure of how exactly to fix this.  Maybe erase the libtool from
the configure script and add Debian's as an external one?  Maybe ask
upstream not to do such an ugly thing as create the libtool file from
the configure script?

Including libcurl*-dev stops the configure from complaining but
doesn't actually FIX the problem, you are still using a 5 year old
libtool which might lead to other troubles. So it really really really
is not a good idea.

Also, while testing out this bug I found out that bibletime should
build-depend on libclucene-dev
