It is the comedi_calibrate configure script. Did you create your package as a 
multiple source package? 
I am going on a holiday for a few days but I will se if I can upgrade my 
package to the latest git.

Do you like the multiple source approach?
Why is comedi_calibrate a separate source?
Can you please add some command line parameter that makes configure not search 
for libcomedi.so while configuring comedi_calibrate? Then I don't have to 
patch configure. Patching configure is a bad habit since the configure scripts 
can be regenerated and then the patch doesn't work anymore.

There are dependencies on unnecessary libraries. Is it possible/easy to fix 
that before the release?
