I've begun having to replace the upstream libtool with the older but more "correct" Debian libtool in my gtk+ and gimp packages.
This is because the newer libtool violates Debian policy with -rpath and not dynamically linking dynamic libraries. What's the proper way to replace upstream libtool with the Debian libtool? Should it be done in debian/rules? Right now, I'm doing (before the build process): 1) Copy /usr/share/libtool/lt* over the old lt* 2) automake 3) aclocal 4) autoconf 5) build the package but I don't know if this is the right thing to do. It's certainly a pain in the butt to have to do this by hand every time a new upstream version comes out.. -- Brought to you by the letters A and I and the number 16. "Ha ha!
