Hmm, I get this patch: http://debian.pastebin.com/jYzMTsaA
I think this is because the Debian build tools automatically update the
Automake scripts. See this line:

-# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.66 for PackageKit 0.6.7.
 #
+# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.67 for PackageKit 0.6.8. 

This should never happen, it claims PackageKit is 0.6.8, but the current
version is 0.6.7. The problem might be solved if you update Automake before
release. (And I'll checkout how to disable the automatic update)
