I tried to comment out the echo line from debian/rules and the packages
build and install fine. The debian/rules file uses script aclocal to
find out AM_VERSION so I suspect it makes no sense to use this value as
a dependency. If the packages depend on some versions of automake it
could be specified explicitly in debian/control. If the aclocal
computation is preserved for some reason the rules line could be changed to
echo 'am_version=${AM_VERSION}' > debian/libltdl-dev.substvars
and then use
automake (>= ${am_version})
in debian/control.
