Package: gnome-common
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: normal

/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh uses "--copy" on the calls to $GETTEXTIZE,
$GLIB_GETTEXTIZE, and gnome-doc-common but not on the calls to $LIBTOOLIZE
and $INTLTOOLIZE. This is quite inconvenient when updating debianised
sources.

IMHO gnome-autogen.sh should use "--copy" consistently, or at least provide
a command line option to get it to do so.
