Source: ncftp
Version: 3.2.5-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

ncftp fails to build from source. It still builds on buildds, but
recreating configure from configure.in does not work when invoked
manually:

| $ autoreconf -f -i
| aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 
'configure.in'
| autoheader: warning: missing template: PREFIX_BINDIR
| autoheader: Use AC_DEFINE([PREFIX_BINDIR], [], [Description])
| autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1
| $

All components must be rebuildable from source.

Calling autoreconf in software that uses autoconf 2.13 is a user error.

Running the correct program with the correct parameters works for me.
