Do you have libtool installed ?

Im having another go at the debian packages, i previously got stuck on a
libtool install problem the same as mentioned at

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200302/msg00547.html

Basically, the ltmain.sh that shipped with 0.5.4 is broken if you do
"make install DESTDIR=<path>", one solution is to run "autoreconf -if"
with a newer libtool installed, that will replace ltmain.sh.

Now that i know the problem the debs shouldnt be far away.
