Package: linda Version: 0.3.16 Severity: normal After some discussion on debian-mentors, the conclusion was reached (or at least I think it was) that rerunning automake/autoconf at package build time is not a bad idea. In fact, it is a good idea, because: - It makes sure there are no unused changes in the source files (Makefile.am etc). - It uses the newest autoconf/automake bugfixes, which can be significant.
In order to not bloat the diff.gz, all generated files should be removed in the clean target (Makefile.in, config.guess, etc).
