As people have said, get upstream to have up to date files.
Not doing something like this is likely to get you nailed by the hppa
guys or some other autobuilder.
Of course, you can always delete those lines if you are satisfied that
you can keep the files up to date yourself.
And no, you don't have to build-depends autotools-dev, that's what the
test for existence of file is for. But it is probably a good idea to
anyway.
