Doh!. I carefully updated to use dh_autoreconf to avoid exactly this
sort of issue, but it's true that I only tested on x86.

I do have an arm64 system now (as of last week!), and it's easy to
test on the porter boxes too.

When did "dh_update_autotools_config" appear? I've always used 
dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig
and
dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig
or is that what you meant? 
When might one use one or the other?

Should I adjust the advice on https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf ?

Guess I'd better read the man page. 

Anyway thanks for the report. I'll fix, test and reupload.
