I'd say the easiest thing to do might be to temporarily change your
/etc/apt/sources.list to point to unstable, then run

  apt-get update
  apt-get install automake autoconf libtool

then reset your /etc/apt/sources.list and run

  apt-get update

That should leave you with a stable + unstable-auto-tools system.

Hope this helps.
