[debhelper-devel] Bug#863887: debhelper: not running autoreconf anymore with compat level 9

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Source: debhelper

Version: 10.4
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks compat level 9 autoreconf feature


Hello, 
as said, using debhelper 10.4 breaks my boinc builds,
because dh_autoreconf is not run automatically anymore
see this build log:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/322079774/buildlog_ubuntu-artful-amd64.boinc_7.7.0+dfsg~git20170601+r23738~r7~ubuntu17.10.1_BUILDING.txt.gz
or this one:
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#experimental/boinc/7.6.33+dfsg-12/buildlog

compat level used is 9,
we have --with autoreconf
and an override_dh_autoreconf call.

please, ask me more details if you want, I'll do my best to give them to you :)

cheers,

G.
