My impression, which might be wrong, but is based on messing with a fair
number of such packages, is that the specific auto* invocation needed
varies per-package, and can only be determined by trial and error, or a
detailed look at the source/docs. Which is why I decided to leave that
out. 

But you can run whatever commands are appropriate by hand of course, before
calling dh_auto_configure. For example, in aalib, I have:

        libtoolize --force
        aclocal
        autoheader
        automake --add-missing
        autoconf
        dh_auto_configure -- --with-curses-driver

(Also, CDBS doesn't even try to do it.)
