Title:
  Can't build grub2 1.99-14ubuntu2 sources with automake  1.11.3

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It looks like the latest ubuntu version of automake (1.11.3) can't
  build the source code for grub due to pkglib being changed to pkgdata.
  It builds fine with automake 1.11.1 but downgrading is not an option
  for me.  Any info on when the source code will be changed to use the
  new variable?

  The exact error messages are:
