[Pkg-vala-maintainers] Bug#756285: vala-0.16: please use dh-autoreconf to build on new architectures (ftbfs on ppc64el)

[Fernando Seiti Furusato]

Source: vala-0.16
Version: 0.16.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64el

Dear Maintainer,

The package vala-0.16 fails to build from source on ppc64el.

> dh_testdir
> dh_testroot
> dh_install -s
> dh_install: libvala-0.16-0 missing files (usr/lib/*/lib*.so.*), aborting
> make: *** [binary-arch] Error 255
> dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

Using dh-autoreconf during the build fixes that and the package builds successfully.

The patch attached contains such modification.
I also removed some direct handling of configuration files that are actually updated
by dh-autoreconf.

Thanks and regards.
Fernando
