"There are only a few exceptions where one should use that lines, not as a normal thing. IMO." From my mail. But even for this porting things: Then you include the newest ones by hand until upstream released a thing with new ones. *IMO* no need for these lines. (And if you have them you should really have a build-depends on autotools-dev or they wont do anything.) Jaime is upstream IIRC, so he wont need these lines. -- bye Joerg Das Ding heißt zwar Laptop, aber das sollte man so wörtlich nicht nehmen.
