dh_autoreconf does a pretty good job of this kind of thing nowadays, and is sufficiently configurable for the cases where 'autoreconf -fi' doesn't just work. Rather than moving it all into dh_auto_configure for the sake of it, perhaps it would be best for dh_auto_configure's documentation to have a cross-reference to dh_autoreconf? -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
