I think I wasn't quite clear in my original report.

The above quote is a way to reproduce the issue, in my experience, but I
saw it specifically after:
$ git clone https://git.dgit.debian.org/numactl
$ cd numactl && fakeroot ./debian/rules binary
...
DPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/bash
/home/nacc/debian/numactl/build-aux/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4
/home/nacc/debian/numactl/build-aux/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.14:
command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<http://www.perl.org/>
Makefile:724: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed

I would expect `./debian/rules binary` to work, although I see now that
this git tree is no longer present. With the autoreconfigure added, we
always pick up the correct autotool version.
Note that sbuild and related tooling does work, the issue was only see
when running `./debian/rules` manually.
