Dear Maintainer,

The package gamin fails to build from source on ppc64el architecture
since it needs configuration files such as config.{guess,sub} to be
updated.
The usage of dh-autoreconf fixes that and the package builds successfully.

Please consider the patch attached in order to do so.

Thanks.
Fernando

This email closes autotools/autoreconf in packages that have 
successfully been built on all current release architectures.

debhelper defaults to updating autotools files since January 2016,
which automatically fixed many of these bugs and makes explicit
updating for these packages obsolete.

debhelper compat 10 defaults to running autoreconf,
making manual adding of dh-autoreconf mostly obsolete.
Updating to compat 10 is a better solution than adding dh-autoreconf, 
and compat < 10 is expected to become a lintian warning before buster.
