Debian policy is to run autoreconf during builds if possible, so that we are building from the real source code, rather than from what upstream happen to have generated. configure.ac claims that flatpak will build with any Automake >= 1.11, but when a bug in Debian's autobuilder infrastructure caused several autobuilders to select Automake 1.11 instead of 1.15, those builds failed:

Please increase the first argument of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to the oldest that you are interested in supporting. Presumably there's some minimum version that you want to support (Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS or an old RHEL or something), and anything older than that is uninteresting?
In Debian jessie-backports, flatpak successfully builds with Automake 1.14.1 (released 2013-12-24), so that version is certainly fine. I had to patch flatpak's C code a bit to cope with the older GLib in jessie, but that's a separate issue, and probably not worth fixing upstream - if 0.8.x remains stable then my patches should continue to apply indefinitely.
