I don't have not provided a source package for noteedit, for the simple reason
that dpkg-source bugs out on that package and refuses to build the diff file.

I have the same and/or various build problem with notedit. The way I built the
packages is to not get it to invoke automake and autoconf. For some reason
that otherwise always fails somewhere for me (various places). And I have
tried all the normal ways of making the build work. There is probably
something not completely right in the automake and/or autoconf build scripts.
But why dpkg-source fails, appears to be something wrong with the dpkg-source
perl script.
As I am not a friend of perl, and don't know how to make automake/autoconf
scripts, I have not tried to fix the problems.
There are unfortunately other problems with noteedit, maybe unique to debian.
So this is a package that needs some work for whoever want to adopt it on
debian.
Noteedit is a program I often use myself.
