Here it is: gcc-h8300-hms
https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=gcc-h8300-hms<_overridden=on
Here is the rules files, it removes the obsolete libtool files and run
dh_autoreconf:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-lego-team/gcc-h8300-hms/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L29
In lintian, it checks the dependency on libtool | dh-autoreconf:
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/master/lib/Lintian/Check/BuildSystems/Autotools/Libtool.pm#L66
But as debhelper depends on dh-autoreconf, this would be a redondant
dependency.
I however have no idea on how the check could be changed.
Nicolas.
