Hi James,

I see that you added a build dependency on libtool-bin. That's
unfortunate as we want to remove libtool-bin (not libtool) from the
archive.

I'm hoping that we can still revert this part and find a better solution
as the reasons for adding it are still on your mind. debian/changelog
says you need them for libterm tests.

I see that vim is using autotools. Can you instead ask autotools to
create a libtool at configure time and use that for libterm?

Please refer to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=842456;filename=lua5.3_5.3.1-1.2.debdiff;msg=5
for a very minimal of adding libtool to an autotools-less project. Very
likely, all you need is LT_INIT and AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and then using
${LIBTOOL} instead of libtool.

Can you look into that? Thanks in advance.

Helmut
