thank you for working on this issue. I fear we are not done yet.

You correctly identified that mp3splt has several configure scripts and
needs to be autoreconf'ed several times. Unfortunately, this is not how
dh_autoreconf works. In the build log, you see:

| dh_autoreconf: warning: Only runs once, see dh-autoreconf(7)

The mp3splt directory is the first to be regenerated and correctly fixes
the original issue about AC_CHECK_FILE now. Later directories such as
mp3splt-gtk are skipped due to the dh_autoreconf semantics at hand.
Hence, the original problem persists there.

The suggested workaround is to create a script that runs all the
autoreconf things. Its name often includes "autogen" (e.g.
debian/autogen.sh). Then make dh_autoreconf call that autogen in an
override_dh_autoreconf.
