I find this with Google:

The aclocal program creates the file `aclocal.m4' by combining stock installed macros, user defined macros and the contents of `acinclude.m4' to define all of the macros required by `configure.in' in a single file. aclocal was created as a fix for some missing functionality in Autoconf, and as such we consider it a wart. In due course aclocal itself will disappear, and Autoconf will perform the same function unaided.

 

user input files   optional input     process          output files
================   ==============     =======          ============

                    acinclude.m4 - - - - -.
                                          V
                                      .-------,
configure.in ------------------------>|aclocal|
                 {user macro files} ->|       |------> aclocal.m4
                                      `-------'

Maybe Ubuntu decided that it is time for it to disappear? Is there a way to make bootstrap.sh use Autoconf instead?
