I really should have thought of that myself, thanks for pointing it out.

Since for this powertop release it is too late to ask upstream to update
autotools, I added autotools-dev to the build-deps. But I will ask
them, to consider updating autotools for their next release, so that
the build-dep can be dropped when that happens.

Updated, now lintian clean, packages can again be found under [0].


Thanks for your answer, best regards,
