Bug#749649: aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory

[Nestor A Diaz]

Source: libva
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am compiling libva from jessie, and it throws the above error.
I just have to create the m4 directory by hand.
So I guess in order to automate the process you should create the directory in
the rules files

# ./debian/rules binary
dh binary --parallel --with autoreconf
   dh_testdir -O--parallel
   dh_autoreconf -O--parallel
aclocal: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
dh_autoreconf: autoreconf -f -i returned exit code 1
make: *** [binary] Error 2
