I also wanted to add a comment re: the fact that the Debian fix is *slightly* different than the fix implemented by James:
* the local macros ( libtool.m4, ltsugar.m4, etc... ) are added to the dir /m4 as opposed to the /autoconf dir
* the top-level aclocal.m4 file also references these files using the prefix /usr/share/aclocal. This works due to the fact that the macro AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) has been added to configure.ac
* the debian/rules file leaves in a copy of the config files from /usr/share/misc, and also slightly cleans up the make clean target
* configure is also modified; my guess is that this was a mistake; since configure is re-generated due to the changes made to debian/rules, this should be harmless.
I've added the two .patch files generated by MoM for reference.
