Version: 0.4.52
Severity: normal

Dear cdbs-developers,

I make use of cdbs' DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_* features.

In /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools-files.mk in line 52, aclocal-$(DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_ACLOCAL) gets called *only* if the file $(DEB_SRCDIR)/aclocal.m4 does already exist.

However, according to aclocal(1) the file aclocal.m4 gets created by aclocal from the contents of configure.in. So the existence of this file is not a requirement for aclocal to be run, it is its result instead. Indeed I have a source at hand (faac 1.26) which does not ship an aclocal.m4 file but defines macros in configure.in which require aclocal to be run before autoconf can be run. Please fix this in a way that aclocal is always run before autoconf, regardless of aclocal.m4 to already exist or not.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Fabian
