Debian has code to automagically detect the needed version of
Autoconf. Read /usr/share/doc/autoconf2.13/README.Debian.gz for
details. You should have little or no need to invoke
version-specific binaries for Autoconf under Debian. It often
won't do what you want anyway, because Makefiles and so on will
still invoke Autoconf under the non-version-specific names.
