Version: 0.13.13
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

*** Please type your report below this line ***
There is no reason to use the config.{sub,guess} or ltmain.sh in the
libtool package.  They are intentionally shipped with the upstream
tarball.

When upgrading to libtool 2.2.4, the current build system in
debian/rules that *removes* the upstream ltmain.sh causes breakage.
