According to wiki/PackagingGuidelines, there is exceptions list for 
BuildRequires tag:

> There is no need to include the following packages or their 
> dependencies as BuildRequires because they would occur too often. 
> These packages are considered the minimum build environment.

Autoconf and automake are not present in this list, therefore they must 
be specified in the BuildRequires tag. OTOH it looks as some basic 
tools... May be autoconf and automake should be included in the 
exception list too?
