pspacek commented: """ Oh, you are right, I was mixing `CONFIG_STATUS_DEPEDENCIES` and `AC_CONFIG_FILES`. Sorry! So please let me explain the problem with `AC_CONFIG_FILES`: `AC_CONFIG_FILES` properly substitutes variables only in Makefiles, as explained in [Autoconf v2.69 manual chapter 4.8.2 Installation Directory Variables](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Installation-Directory-Variables.html). Yes, we can use `AC_CONFIG_FILES` so all variables can used for substitution, but in that case only subset of all usable variables will be substituted correctly. I do not think that it is right approach. """ See the full comment at https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/268#issuecomment-262955693
