To control whether automake regenerates auto-generated files, have a look at AM_MAINTAINER_MODE [0] I ask my upstreams to not distribute auto-generated files. Failing that, I make sure that debian/rules rebuilds everything from scratch, in a way that all upstream files are restored after running the clean target.
