That's the intent of the last sentence of the tag description:
windlord:~> lintian-info -t outdated-autotools-helper-file
N: outdated-autotools-helper-file
N:
N: The referenced file has a time stamp older than June of 2006 and the
N: package does not build-depend on autotools-dev or automake and
N: therefore apparently does not update it. This usually means that the
N: source package will not build correctly on AVR32, for which a Debian
N: port is currently in progress, and may not support other newer
N: architectures.
N:
N: Read /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz (from the
N: autotools-dev package) for information on how to fix this problem.
N: cdbs will automatically update these files if autotools-dev is
N: installed during build, but the build dependency on autotools-dev is
N: still necessary.
N:
N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
