Hello Till,
There is a new version of the package libsmf (1.3-2).

I made some changes:

* debian/control Conflicts: denemo (<= 0.8.10-1)
  added to libsmf-dev and smf-utils (Closes: #584193)
* debian/rules dh --with autotools_dev added to update
  config.{sub,guess}. (Closes: #584255)
* debian/control Build dependency on autotools-dev
  (>= 20100122.1) added.

http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libsmf
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/libsmf.git

Cheers.
