FTBFS on Feisty, "`build-aux/ylwrap' not found"

[Micah Cowan]

Binary package hint: coreutils

configure.ac: required file `build-aux/ylwrap' not found
configure.ac: `automake --add-missing' can install `ylwrap'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1

The following patch allowed it to build for me:

Also, automake, autoconf and the like are not in build-essential; the autoreconf should very likely not be performed at all. If it /is/ necessary, these packages should be added to the build-deps.

Builds fine in Gutsy and newer.
