There will be problems building with 2.69 on Ubuntus older than 12.10, and Debians older than wheezy. % rmadison autoconf autoconf | 2.61-4 | hardy | source, all autoconf | 2.65-3ubuntu1 | lucid | source, all autoconf | 2.67-2ubuntu1 | natty | source, all autoconf | 2.68-1ubuntu1 | oneiric | source, all autoconf | 2.68-1ubuntu2 | precise | source, all autoconf | 2.69-1ubuntu1 | quantal | source, all % rmadison -u debian autoconf autoconf | 2.67-2 | squeeze | source, all autoconf | 2.69-1 | wheezy | source, all autoconf | 2.69-1 | sid | source, all FWIW, precise is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, so it carries Python 2.7 and 3.2. I think it would be fine to update the default branch (i.e. 3.4), but I'm not sure what benefit you gain from making this change to stable branches, and you could potentially cause build problems, which you may not find out about for a while, e.g. when 2.7.4 is released and all the distros go to update.
