It has already been reported
     http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=107440

You could also ask the Debian Libtool maintainer to provide a working
package instead of libtool-1.4b which is alpha software (the requirement
for autoconf 2.50 is induced by this version).
Or install libtool-1.4 under /usr/local/ which is surely the best
solution to avoid all these problems.

Well, this is definetely not an autoconf issue ;)
