Package: autoconf
Version: 2.61-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5
Policy 3.5 says:
Every package must specify the dependency information
about other packages that are required for the first to work
correctly.
autoconf merely 'recommends' automake, which is not a sufficiently
strong dependency, as shown by what bit me today:

Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line

Description:
autoconf - automatic configure script builder
Closes: 462021
Changes:
autoconf (2.61-5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* debian/control: Depend on automake | automaken, instead of just
recommending automaken, because the autoreconf program actually
invokes binaries from automake. Thanks to Norman Ramsey
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for reporting this bug. Closes: #462021.
.
* debian/rules: Don't ignore all errors from "make distclean"; only
ignore the absence of a Makefile. Found by lintian.
.
* debian/NEWS.Debian: Reformat to comply with recommendation in
Developers Reference. Found by lintian.
