Package: dh-autoreconf
Version: 6
Severity: normal

I'm not exactly sure whose bug this is, but I'll start here.

I have a package (gnubg) which uses mkinstalldirs.  After the first
build and clean cycle, mkinstalldirs has been deleted by
dh_autoreconf_clean.  But then running autoreconf doesn't bring it
back, which means that the build fails.

As near as I can tell, autoreconf updates mkinstalldirs if it exists,
but if it's been deleted, it doesn't copy it into the source tree,
which leads to build failures when the package is built twice in
sequence.

This may actually be a bug in autoreconf; I'm not sure whether it
should be reassigned there, or whether it's something dh-autoreconf
should deal with.
