Hi,
I know the autoreconf idea has been already tried and reverted [1],
but I'd be willing to help in getting that working.
I understand it might require changes to upstream code as well,
so I'd ask the maintainers for some help/assistance, since they're
more experienced on this package and its upstream development.
Ok, let's move on.
Error 0) simacros is missing (fix suggested)
The first failure on autoreconf are lots of undefined m4 macros,
because the m4_includes on the end of aclocal.m4 are wiped out
by aclocal.
Additionally, their path doesn't exist. They require coin3d/simacros
to be pulled in.
So, it can be fixed by downloading a copy of simacros (suggestion:
git submodule), and adding something like this (obviously w/a
different path) on configure.ac:
AC_CONFIG_MACROS_DIR[(../simacros/cfg/m4)]
Fixed. Let's go to the next error.
Error 1) library naming
Many automake errors like this:
src/3ds/Makefile.am:53: error: 'format3ds.lst' is not a standard
library name
src/3ds/Makefile.am:53: did you mean 'libformat3ds.a'?
src/3ds/Makefile.am: error: object '3ds-dummy.$(OBJEXT)' created both
with libtool and without
[...]
This probably can be fixed with _LDFLAGS = -module, as suggested
in automake's documentation [2].
I didn't have success w/ this, although I didn't try hard, as
it would be nice to get a confirmation from maintainers that
this was worth pursuing, or maybe there's a better way.
Any help like instructions/suggestions/debugging/fixing this would
be greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks!

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.
