I updated details in the wikipage

Comment 2 Denis Pronin 2018-10-15 19:11:41 UTC

Should I open new issues if any new findings take place?
I learnt many packages that have this issue, I can supply the bugtracker with more packages

should we use plain autoreconf or eautoreconf?

Bit late, but always eautoreconf AFAIK.

Yes.

Okay, all blockers done.

TL;DR is that it's easiest to check ltmain.sh and that elibtoolize from libtool.eclass is insufficient to refresh (at least by itself), so I just used eautoreconf which seemed to be fine.
