Bug#735212: kxl: use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to fix FTBFS on ppc64el

Package: kxl
Version: 1.1.7-16
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

For the ppc64el architecture in Ubuntu, since this package uses libtool, a full
autoreconf is necessary instead of just config.{sub,guess} updates with
autotools-dev. This is because we need new libtool macros for ppc64el.

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Use dh-autoreconf instead of autotools-dev to also fix FTBFS on ppc64el by
    getting new libtool macros (still updates config.{sub,guess}).
  * Use automake's "foreign" option to fix FTBFS while autoreconfing.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
