Dear Maintainer,

I am working to enable ppc64el architecture on the package "file". 
It fails to build from source, since a bunch of configuration files need 
update, which are not entirely covered by autotools-dev. That could be 
handled by using dh-autoreconf instead. 
Thank you for considering the patch.
