Hi Jonathan, I'd prefer to not add this build dependency. I learned in the past that using the auto* tools create more work than gain in the long run. At some time they get updated again and force the maintainer to adapt, or something goes wrong with the build. I try to avoid these tools whereever possible, and I don't think the dash package needs them. Instead I suggest to patch ./configure if necessary.
