Bug#761780: About src:ntl and libtool

Hi,

I had a look, and saw that libtool is used like this:
- first it is detected using "libtool --version", and LIBTOOL is set ;
- then it is used using lines looking like:
    $(LIBTOOL) --mode={link,compile,clean,install,uninstall} ...

Notice that it's not using autotools to build -- it's a set of perl 
scripts! In particular, libtoolize will not be able to do much with 
those sources...

I don't know exactly what should be done in such a sad case. Just depend 
on libtool-bin?
