For what I can say about debian, we distribute both 2.13 and 2.59 series.
They are well-known as incompatible when used in maintainer mode.
The best thing to do is avoiding the maintainer mode at all for final
builders and that's all. None should need to run autoconf in order
to configure and compile the distributed program.
I could also suggest to use the most recent one due to some gotchas in ancient
versions of 2.5. All this is of course true for incoming sarge.
