Replace the two "ltmain.sh" files in your source tree with copies of the
/usr/share/libtool/ one.

Indeed.

You'll need to check if the bug still exists with an ltmain.sh generated by
the Debian package. What you are using so far is "a" ltmain.sh generated on
an upstream developer's system, not one that's generated by the Debian
libtool package.

libtool used to have issues dealing with inter-library dependencies. The
Debian package was specifically patched to deal with those properly, but
that patch may not have propagated into the general community much so far.
