Package: dh-autoreconf Version: 14 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear maintainer,
please update the dh-autoreconf man page to reflect recent changes: * it no longer needs to be enabled explicitly when using debhelper compatibility levels >= 10 * the debhelper commands provided by autotools-dev are being superseded by the dh_update_autotools_config debhelper command [1] I've added a suggestion as patch. Thank you Lukas Schwaighofer [1] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debhelper-devel/2017-August/006303.html
