       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 autoconf doc package.  Otherwise, you may be able to access the Autoconf manual online.  /usr/share/doc/auto
