Yeah, the current libtool package is 1.4 -- unfortunately there are
still a huge number of software packages out there still using autoconf
2.13 for whom libtool 1.5 isn't useable until they get their collective
arses in gear and update to 2.5x

Indeed, I've already packaged libtool 1.5 for Debian. The only reason
it's not in the archive right now is cowardice. The Debian libtool
package will be 1.5 within a month or so though.
I'll still be maintaining the 1.4 branch (in a libtool1.4 package) out
of need, there's too much that can't updated to 1.5 yet.
