The file in question is clearly generated from something else:
# Generated automatically using autoconf version 2.12
Looks like it is generated from a configure.in file:
# Any additions from configure.in:
ac_help="$ac_help
--enable-shared build shared library using GNU libtool"
ac_help="$ac_help
--enable-static build static library using GNU libtool"
ac_help="$ac_help
--enable-maxmem[=N] enable use of temp files, set max mem usage to N
MB"
ac_help="$ac_help

Helmut is correct, this is a violation of DFSG item 2 and the
ftp-master policy on generated files.
