I merely took the opportunity to state how we think about this.  I know
that Debian updates the autconf files too but that is up to them and in
fact it makes sense for a sistro to do tha.  This way they have
identical support on all packages.  We do it for the same reason: to
exclude bugs from using different autoconf tools and to minimize
differences between the configuraion of our developer's boxes.

autogen.sh is our central configuration script which does things which
can't be done in configure.ac.  For example there are helper function to
build a stable beta version number out of the git revision.  Doing that
with M4 macros turned out to be too fragile.

Salam-Shalom,
