Bug#884798: lintian could complain about pkg-config uses that fail to use $ac_tool_prefix

Hi Helmut,

This is my primary concern — warning about broken configure.{am,in} in
code copies etc. that are not used would just be annoying.

It might be safe to simply check ./configure.{am,in} or perhaps a
hardcoded list of subdirs such as src/configure.{am,in}. What do you
think?

Would this be easy for you to do? Please go ahead if so and let us know.
