Cannot parse this. Compiling the package can also introduce
new problems, just like getting up at the morning.
Experience has shown that failing to rerun automake
did introduce a new problem.

Build-depends helps you with this.

Well, this is a bit lengthy explanation of what kind of trouble you are
in.

No. By definition, generated files are not source code.
It does not matter if the upstream provided them or not.
Makefile.in is provided for convenience of those unlucky who should
go into too great length installing automake et al in their machines.
This is not the case in Debian.

But it is a bug in the package source, not in the toolchain.
So it should be corrected there.
