Hi,

The ppc64el port requires a patch to libtool.m4.  I don't think that's
in Debian yet, but when it is it will require autoreconfing a bunch of
packages to pick it up. devhelp could handle this quite easily by using
dh-autoreconf; when libtool is in use (as of course it is here),
dh-autoreconf is a superset of autotools-dev, and it seems to still
build just fine if I do the following.  I did have to do a bit of extra
work to make things happy: use intltoolize & include non-standard
include dir for aclocal/autoconf.
