The very first parts of this are in now. Before running make, you must run ./configure from CVS. To make people's lives easier I did check in configure, and not just the autoconf files that will generate it (though they are there too, in the autoconf dir).
Today it does 2 things of value:
Figures out where python is, and sets that (replacing a shell command in the
master makefile)
Figures out if you have docbook2man, and if not disables the documentation
building.
Dann, do you maintain an accurate list of build requires for debian? That
might go some way to forcing all those checks in configure, so you'd know up
front what packages you needed.
Comments are welcomed

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
