This is redundant, because the rules file in the sources contains the actual
call to configure.
In at least one of my packages, which has a gazillion options, I've chosen to
populate README.Debian with a detailed explaination of why each option was
chosen... but I'd be against a cut'n'paste of the configure invocation from
the rules file in the source package, which anyone wanting to rebuild the
package is probably going to unpack and study anyway...
