Hi Alastair and Simon, I think this is a high urgency matter in the sense that it is a paper cut to lots of developers and have therefore NMUed your package with the attached patch.

The parsing did not deal with the lack of a minor version and failed to match. It's a fairly simple change to d/rules. Combined with automake now providing automake-1.16 this makes libtool build without fixing #1094361 (which I still think should be fixed) and once built, it'll depend on automake-1.17 and the annoyance goes away. I remove the urgency from the matter. At least until automake-1.18. Helmut
