Thanks for your offer of help, Andi, and sorry for not getting to this
sooner.

When test building with dh-autoreconf on amd64, i get the following
error toward the end of the build:

This smells a lot like a an issue i found earlier with the 1.4 branch of
gpg:

 http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2014-January/028181.html

tbh, i'm not entirely sure why dh_autoreconf would trigger this when
dh_autotools-dev wouldn't, but that's what i'm seeing.

and, weirdly, doc/gpl.texi differs subtly between the gnupg, gnupg2, and
gpgme packaging.

I'm looking into this further to see what's going on, but any pointers
would be welcome too.
