https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50044091/what-is-the-job-of-autogen-sh-when-building-a-c-package-on-linux#:~:text=The%20autogen.sh%20script%20generates,Makefile.am%20using%20automake).

The Debian package build process invokes autoreconf directly, autogen.sh is not 
needed. IMHO it is a mere convenience thingy, can go if it is disturbing anyone.
