Is there an autogen.sh script which you have executed? Or something like
libtoolize -f? It seems like the autoconf system of your package has
been generated, making symlinks to the installed packages. Generaly, it
is better not to touch the build system of the upstream, unless it is
really needed. In your case, you may create static copies of the
mentioned files, but this would end up in an bloated diff file. You have
now only few options:

a) delete the new symlinks in the clean rule, and do the same thing you
have allready done in the configure rule. Don't forget to set
Build-Dependency on required automake/autoconf/libtool tools then.

or

b) Revert your change. Extract the orig tarball somewhere, put your
debian-stuff in that directory, continue your work.

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
