Missing autoconf build-dependancy in cyrus-imapd-2.3 branch ?

Hi,

I used "svn co 
https://mail.incase.de/svn/cyrus22/branches/cyrus23/cyrus-imapd-2.3-development/", 
and installed build-essential, as well as the packages listed in "Unmet 
build dependencies:".
When trying to "dpkg-buildpackage", it complained about missing autoconf :

make: autoheader: Command not found
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 127
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

That's very cosmetical, since any sane build box will have autoconf ; 
but that might cause some havoc in some pbuilder setups and similar 
automated build stuff.
A simple "apt-get install autoconf" did the trick, so I suppose there 
should be just a little something to add to the debian control file.

Out of curiosity : what about pushing those packages to the experimental 
or untable branch ? That would be very nice, since Cyrus is an awesome 
platform, but the 2.2 version is getting a bit outdated (and lacks sexy 
features like replication).

Best regards,
