<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I followed your advice of the
"dh_autoreconf" package and the adapted debian/rules file and then
I could successfully compile Pd 0.50 on both laptops (and on a
third laptop with Linux Mint 17.3).<br>
In case someone searches info to compile and install recent
versions of Pd on older Ubuntu computers I summarized the whole
procedure at the end of this email.<br>
<br>
Can I help in some way to spread or upload compiled Pd versions
for Ubuntu and derivatives? For sure I am not an expert in
compiling programs, I just started trying this a week ago but
maybe it can help in making Pd available for more people...</div>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">since you are using quite old debhelper-package, you might also need to
install the "dh_autoreconf" package.
if that still doesn't work, you might also need to change the invocation
of "dh" in debian/rules to the following (indentation is <TAB> rather
than <SPACE>s):
<snip>
%:
dh $@ --with autoreconf
</snip>
