in debian/rules, edit this line:
cd $(DEB_SRCDIR) && libtoolize --force --copy && aclocal && autoheader && automake --force --copy && autoconf

so that it uses automake1.7 explicitly:
cd $(DEB_SRCDIR) && libtoolize --force --copy && aclocal && autoheader && automake1.7 --force --copy && autoconf

You probably have an older version kicking around that's messing up.  It
builds fine in my sarge chroot, so it should work for you with some
finessing.
