No, you shouldn't.  You should write your aclocal.m4 in a manner which
keeps the inclusion of any m4 source file it requires where it belongs
-- under your control.  You should not have to rely on an automated
tool which can automatically pull in all sorts of garbage, from any
possibly inappropriate source.

Just my 2p; you are welcome to a contrary POV :-)

Cheers,
Keith.
