OK. I just uploaded 5.0.0a-2.5 which uses plain dh_autotools-dev instead of
dh_autoreconf.
I tested the build on arm64 to check I got it right this time!
Because the configure.ac was in a sub-dir the simple dh_autoreconf
wasn't doing anything. Adding a debian/autoreconf file listing the
'autoreconf' directory to get it to look in there revealed a load of
grumbling about the very old autofoo, with a selection of JD macros to
make it more interesting. Updating that would require some effort. As
it's not actually broken I just decided to use dh_autotools-dev to
update config.{sub,guess}
Here's the patch against the -2.4 NMU
