I would second the opinion that running dh-autoreconf by default is something that should be expected to work. In practice it does work except for old and languishing packages that have very old autofoo: those need some updates. Often very simple ones, but in a few cases deeper ones. See (https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf for useful info)
So I would like to clarify whether there is a plan to do this in debhelper for level 10 or not, as mooted in this bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744915#25 Maintainers (at least one) seem to be expecting it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788321#20 but perhaps that is premature? Is the situation 'yes, if someone sends patches', or 'yes, it's underway', or 'maybe, sometime', or 'no never, it's a dumb idea' (or something else)? cheers Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
