I personally see auto* more critical than minified JS.
The chance that it is impossible to rebuild is higher :~)
Quoting https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf:
"Autoreconfing on build is good practice in Debian."
Not required, but recommended.

I don't think tincho nor myself want to challenge a line, we
would like to know where it is :~)
If I package a compiler and put y.tab.c in the package, drop
grammar.y in d/m-s/, would it be OK or not? If I don't even
check that bison actually can process the file, would it
still be OK?

There are some packages, that currently have only generated
JS files without the original sources (not only SASS and
CoffeeScript, but also large JS libraries, that are bundled from
many source files), which seems not in line with DFSG.
No need to eject them from main, however, because maintainers
can just add the missing sources in the way they like.
