The problem is that you should make this conditional.
WANT_TEST_SUITE automake conditional variable will be TRUE if 
tests/suite exists and FALSE otherwise.
Then while processing Makefile.am Automake will add 'suite' to the list 
of subdirs if it exists and will not add it otherwise.
You'd also need to put AC_CONFIG_FILES into

AM_COND_IF([WANT_TEST_SUITE],
                 [AC_CONFIG_FILES([tests/suite/Makefile])])


Well, that's my theory anyway.
