Current Debian unstable uses autoconf 2.57.

Prior to this, Debian had both autoconf 2.13 and 2.5x simultaneously.
/usr/bin/autoconf was a wrapper script which would invoke autoconf2.5x
if a "configure.ac" file existed in `pwd`, or autoconf2.13 otherwise.
This is true even in woody (Debian 3.0), so it's been that way for a
fairly long time.

Try this:

cd /tmp
touch configure.ac
autoconf --version
