Could you elaborate on where you obtained qemu from and the command you
were trying to run? It seems to me that if qemu is using autoreconf it
should depend on the package which provides it.

Title:
  Please add package alias for autoreconf

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While trying to configure QEMU, I received the error:

      (cd .../qemu-2.1.1/pixman; autoreconf -v --install)
      /bin/sh: 1: autoreconf: not found
      make: *** [.../qemu-2.1.1/pixman/configure] Error 127

  I thought it would be easy to solve:

      sudo apt-get install autoreconf
      Reading package lists... Done
      Building dependency tree       
      Reading state information... Done
      E: Unable to locate package autoreconf

  Fortunately, I came across others who had the same problem. The
  problem seems to be with the package name. There's nothing intuitive
  about "dh-autoreconf".

  Please create an alias for "dh-autoreconf".
