pure-ftpd fails to cross build from source, because it fails finding
mariadb or mysql. During cross compilation, mysql_config does not work.
I've looked into it and we cannot make it work. The way to fix this is
using pkg-config. I've attached a patch that makes pure-ftpd try
pkg-config and then fall back to mysql_config. In order to apply it, you
need to regenerate configure and add a build dependency on pkg-config.
Once doing so, pure-ftpd will become cross buildable.

I think the bug is only partially fixed. While configure.ac has been
patched, configure wasn't updated and since it isn't regenerated during
build, the unfixed version is actually being used.

I don't think that would make sense. Suppose I were to regenerate
configure and diff the present configure with the new one. You'd get a
giant diff that essentially replaces configure. How would you review
tens of thousands of lines changed?

Instead, you should locally regenerate configure before uploading.

The alternative chosen by most maintainers (due to being automatically
enabled in debhelper compat level >= 10) is using dh_autoreconf. It will
ignore the shipped configure and regenerate it during build. You're
presently using compat level 9, which happens to be deprecated.

compat level >= 10 does not work, because pure-ftpd does not use dh. As

Your options:
 * Use dh.
 * Explicitly call dh_autoreconf.
 * Run autoreconf before upload.
