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,
