This does not even matter, Brian. The bug is invalid.
(a) autoreconf is provided by autoconf (and the name sort of implies that, it
re-runs autoconf)
(b) APT does not have any sort of alias database, it uses package provides
(c) It does not make sense to provide autoreconf from autoconf, as everyone
using autotools should know that autoreconf is part of autoconf.

Title:
Please add package alias for autoreconf
Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
While trying to configure QEMU, I received the error:
(cd .../qemu-2.1.1/pixman; autoreconf -v --install)
/bin/sh: 1: autoreconf: not found
make: *** [.../qemu-2.1.1/pixman/configure] Error 127
I thought it would be easy to solve:
sudo apt-get install autoreconf
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package autoreconf
Fortunately, I came across others who had the same problem. The
problem seems to be with the package name. There's nothing intuitive
about "dh-autoreconf".
Please create an alias for "dh-autoreconf".
