Public bug reported:

According to the README, the process to build libfreetype6 seems to
start with

./debian/rules patch

which fails due to the correct version of autoconf not being detected,
even though it is installed:

themusicgod1@Hedy:~/libfreetype/freetype-2.5.2$ ./debian/rules patch
# Unpack upstream tarballs
Unpacking freetype-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ...
Unpacking freetype-doc-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ...
Unpacking ft2demos-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ... 
[...]
Applying patch savannah-bug-41590.patch
patching file src/type1/t1load.c

Now at patch savannah-bug-41590.patch
cd freetype-2.5.2 && ./autogen.sh
ERROR: Your version of the `autoconf' tool is too old.
       Minimum version 2.62 is required (yours is version 2.13).
       Please upgrade or use the AUTOCONF variable to point to a more recent one.

(same happens if $AUTOCONF is set differently, or not set)
