Yeah, I figure I must be doing something wrong, but just surprised.
This was the same clone that I used for the last stuff I was doing,
so it's not a clean checkout, as such, although "git status" is
happy.
I've noticed (outside of Debian, when hacking on chocolate) that
sometimes the auto* scripts (configure or the Makefile) decide that
autoreconf (or similar) needs to be re-run. I haven't seen that with
other projects, and I wonder if that's something to do with this.

No difference.

Well that geneartes the missing files so things work, but
"debian/rules clean" does not invoke dh-autoreconf (thus
autoreconf), which I think is why things are broken for me.

Both are fine -- neither remove autotools/config.{sub,guess}.
"gbp..." fails afterwards, though, due to changes to source, which
are the various autofoo-generated things (Makefile.in etc.)
I find that gitignore of autoconf autogenerated files doesn't play nice
with package building :(
Let me try from a totally clean checkout.
