I use the following fragment to check for Debian's APT:

AC_CACHE_CHECK([for libapt-pkg (>= 0.5.0)],
 ac_cv_have_libaptpkg,
 [ac_save_LIBS=${LIBS}
  LIBS=-lapt-pkg
  AC_TRY_LINK(
   [class Configuration {};
    bool pkgInitConfig(Configuration &);],
   [Configuration c;
    (void)pkgInitConfig(c);],
   [ac_cv_have_libaptpkg=yes],
   [ac_cv_have_libaptpkg=no])
  LIBS=${ac_save_LIBS}])
if test "${ac_cv_have_libaptpkg}" != "yes"; then
 AC_MSG_ERROR([*** You need libapt-pkg, version 0.5.0 or greater])
fi
APTPKGLIBS=-lapt-pkg
AC_SUBST(APTPKGLIBS)
