I don't think that would make sense. Suppose I were to regenerate configure and diff the present configure with the new one. You'd get a giant diff that essentially replaces configure. How would you review tens of thousands of lines changed? Instead, you should locally regenerate configure before uploading. The alternative chosen by most maintainers (due to being automatically enabled in debhelper compat level >= 10) is using dh_autoreconf. It will ignore the shipped configure and regenerate it during build. You're presently using compat level 9, which happens to be deprecated. Helmut
