| 7 | You are correct, apparently they changed their stance on this some time ago |
| 8 | as you can read here: |

| 12 | They also no longer support the autotools scripts that are provided with |
| 13 | the source code as you can read in the README: |

| 17 | There are quite some packages depending on them so they can't just be |
| 18 | last-rited. Maybe the best solution is to leave them in their current form |
| 19 | (perhaps update the SRC_URI) and not accepting package updates to 1.8, |
| 20 | instead asking upstream packages that depend on them to include them in |
| 21 | their source distribution. |
