That's a warning that in my opinion ought to be fixed upstream instead
of just working around it in the Debian packaging. So I filed
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/790185
There's a new upstream version 0.26.4 which includes the patch I
proposed last month.
But as a workaround for now, if you want to install the metadata to
/usr/share/metainfo/ you can add this to the header in
debian/copyright before using uscan to fetch the new version:
Files-Excluded: m4
And add Build-Depends on autoconf-archive, libglib2.0-dev-bin and
yelp-tools. That should probably be done anyway to avoid code
duplication and ensure we are building with the latest versions of the
autoconf macros.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
