Yes, I am aware of the new version of Autoconf.  I am a little
worried about upgrading it having a cascade effect on breaking
other packages accidentally.  The freeze for the next release of
Debian has already started (although Autoconf itself is not yet
frozen) and I do not want to risk causing trouble for little
perceived benefit.

Does Autoconf 2.62 have compelling new features?  I am not aware
of any.  If it has some, then that might lower the risk/reward
ratio enough to justify, to my mind, uploading Autoconf 2.62
prior to the next release.
