Source: timidity
Version: 2.13.2-40.5
Severity: serious
Justification: configure cannot be built from source
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

timidity still builds fine on buildds, because it uses ./configure as a
pre-built artifact. Unfortunately ./configure cannot be regenerated
anymore, because autogen.sh relies on aclocal-1.9 which was formerly
part of automake1.9. The latter got removed from unstable two years ago.

There are essentially three ways to resolve this bug:
 * Move timidity to a newer automake.
 * Reintroduce automake1.9 into unstable.
 * Remove timidity.

* problems in a non-mandatory and unused script like autogen.sh
  are not RC bugs; autoreconf works
