This has not been my experience with other Autotools packages. dbus is
my usual example of a relatively complicated Autotools build, and it
only enters 'debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure' once (which as it
happens runs configure three times - for normal, debug and udeb builds -
but that's deliberate and dbus-specific).
% dh build --no-act
dh_testdir
dh_update_autotools_config
debian/rules override_dh_autoreconf
debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure
debian/rules override_dh_auto_build
debian/rules override_dh_auto_test-arch
debian/rules override_dh_auto_test-indep
create-stamp debian/debhelper-build-stamp
I don't think we had that problem with glib2.0 either, although glib2.0
in stretch is old enough that it's still using cdbs, while glib2.0 in
buster is new enough that it has switched from Autotools to Meson, so I
don't have any buildd logs to provide evidence of that.
Perhaps you could share your latest version of d/rules somewhere?

dbus doesn't explicitly define build, build-arch or build-indep targets,
it leaves that to dh's "%" rule. Does e2fsprogs perhaps explicitly define
those targets?
