[Reproducible-builds] Bug#792048: xdemorse: FTBFS: ***Error***: You must have automake >= 1.9 installed

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Package: xdemorse
Version: 2.9-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: ftbfs

The package depends on automake, but it checks up to automake 1.14, while now
the default is 1.15.
Please either expand the check or build-depend on a fixed automake version (the
former is slightly preferred).
