Yes, OK, it should be.

Seems a bit pointless. I'm thinking about introducing a dh-autoreconf-run or whatever, though, that just runs the tools, so that code is not in dh_autoreconf. Also thinking about enabling dh_autoreconf -- <args> to pass to autoreconf (or that helper from above). Gives some more flexibility for defaults (currently, you need to provide a command name, and dh-autoreconf would turn off some stuff in such a case). -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
