I'm generally in favor of this as long as there's some easy way for dh-autoreconf to turn off this functionality in favor of its more comprehensive approach. (Personally, I use dh-autoreconf for everything and think that's the superior option, but I understand why people don't always want to do that. Some packages have a history of not cleanly rebuilding with later versions of Autoconf and Automake.) -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
