Why did you need to use automake? The point of packaging up the
2.5.13 release, was, among other things, so that folks wouldn't have
to use automake, autoconf, autopoint, help2man, their grandmother's
toothbrush and all the other GNUish tools that make flex go from cvs
to ./configure && make && make install.

Did we miss something? or does debian do funny things?
