Problems with autoconf in pftools

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I try to package pftools[1].  Unfortunately autoreconf throws the
following error:

   dh_autoreconf -O--no-parallel
configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_NOTICE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:51: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
dh_autoreconf: autoreconf -f -i returned exit code 1
debian/rules:8: recipe for target 'build' failed


Websearches resulted in adding pkg-config to Build-Depends but I admit I
do not understand why this should help to find macros that are in
autoconf doc - and it actually does not help.  Any other hints to get
this working?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
