This really shouldn't be done like this since it requires autotools for
the build environment. The way I have been working around it myself is
to have the autotools stuff installed in my chroot for the initial build
(eg not buildd's) then after the patches are applied run make -f
admin/Makefile.common by hand so that they are included in the diff.gz.
However, if you do this you will need the AM_MAINTAINER_MODE patch as
well, which actually is probably faster regardless since it disables the
automake up to date checks.

BTW - I have also started using pristine tagged cvs export's (eg
KDE_3_1_4_RELEASE) then runing make -f admin/Makefile.common once,
removing the automake cache dir and then taring that as the orig.tar.gz.
Everything else I change I put into patches. Apparently this helps make
the security team much more happier than having random stuff in the
diff.gz (like all of a BRANCH update). ;)

I hope the above made sense its 2am here.
