Hello,

Almost, it is caused by upgrading automake. Building with automake
1:1.16.1-1 fails, downgrading to 1:1.15.1-3.1 lets the build succeed.
Which seems to have hit other packages, too. With one report (#906774)
reassigned to automake.

FWIW at first glance I have not found not-too-involved a workaround yet.
I might be forced to move stuff from Build-Depends-Indep to
Build-Depends.
