       The Debian project regards the full documentation for  autoconf	to  be
       non-free,  so it is not included in Debian.  Nevertheless, the non-free
       distribution that accompanies Debian includes the manual in  its	 auto‐
       conf-doc	 package.   Otherwise,	you may be able to access the Autoconf
       manual online.  /usr/share/doc/autoconf/autoconf.html for more informa‐
       tion.
