Bug#988981: dh-autoreconf: please switch autoconf to verbose mode

[Nicolas Boulenguez]

Package: dh-autoreconf
Version: 20
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello.
The policy now recommends verbose logs unless DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
contains terse.
By default, autoreconf does not say in which subdirectory it enters,
which is quite inconvenient when debugging a failure.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
