So, when cmake support was added to debhelper 7.3.0, the behavior of
dh_auto_configure for such a package actually changed. In retrospect,
then, we failed to get that right, and are only lucky that it seems to
have broken nothing.

It also means that if another build system is added to @BUILDSYSTEMS in
the future, we again risk breakage, even if it is added after makefile.
