Package: dh-autoreconf
Version: 10
Severity: normal
Hi,
I've found some packages (in Ubuntu admittedly, I didn't check in
Debian)yet which Build-Depend on dh-autoreconf and use libtool during
either autoreconfing or in their testsuites. Previously they got this
via libtool, but since 2.4.2-1.11 (2014-10-14), libtool-bin ships this
script instead of the libtool package.
Would you consider adding a dependency on libtool-bin to dh-autoreconf,
or do you think people should add this BD themselves?
Cheers,

Actually I've talked to some people and it seems that in general
packages should be using the libtool generated for them by configure,
and not /usr/bin/libtool, which is what libtool-bin provides now. So I
*think* we can consider this not a bug, and people should fix their
stuff instead.
Tentatively closing.
