Haven't had any time to review this or ask for help on dh , glad you took the time to do it (and push through to unstable).
I attempted to put together an autoreconf on my own, but had no success (the original dist files were not restored after a build, and nothing I did seemed to correct the situation). I'll figure out where I went wrong based on your change, sorry I couldn't respond prior to the commit.
