Search led me to this answer:

sudo apt-get install autotools-dev

Indeed, this should be better documented:

apt-get install -y autotools

Same problem here:

SOLUTION in debian 9

(use sudo if needed)

apt install autotools-dev automake
aclocal

In my laptop terminal output:

aclocal: error: 'configure.ac' is required

And that file is exactly what we have later.

So...

Maybe aclocal moved to automake or the automake from autotools-dev have a problem with aclocal. See docs

Try to install automake and share your findings, please.

Later, the way to install it in debian 9 is (use sudo or su if needed):

./autogen.sh
mkdir build
cd build/
../configure
make
su
make install
exit
man logkeys

If documentation appears all must be good to go.
