Package: am-utils
Version: 6.1.5-3
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source
If, for some reason or other, one changes the configure.in file and
tries to rebuild the am-utils package, and a newer version of autconf is
installed then am-utils fails to build at the dh_ins
For example:

The problem is that as of autoconf 2.61-4 "infodir" is by default
/usr/share/info, not /usr/info like the debian/autoconf-doc.install file
expects.
A workaround is to force infodir on the make install step in
debian/rules:
