       The Debian project regards the full documentation for autoupdate 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.
