There is an extra dependency that nobody did evoke during this thread.
In Debian, the Common Debian  Build-System
(http://build-common.alioth.debian.org/) provides some facilities to
integrate modules based on autotools. I guess, it would be handy if you
could also come with the same facilities to build packages using this
scheme.
