I think it might also be a good idea to update the description of
outdated-autotools-helper-file to explicitly recommend using dh_autoreconf
during the build.  There is a reference to dh_autoreconf in the
README.Debian in autotools-dev, which we refer to, but I think it's the
cleanest solution for most cases and it might be a good idea to make the
recommendation a lot more prominant.
