Yes, but the autoreconf2.50 that Debian installs converts --localdir
into --include, then calls autoconf (unqualified with no version
number) which is a wrapper script that does not understand --include.

I think what I'd recommend for people on Debian 3.0 is set up a
directory including autoconf, autoheader, autoreconf and aclocal as
symlinks to the versioned versions of these programs and stick that
directory at the top of your path.
