It would be cleaner (for the diff) to:
1. build-depend on autotools-dev
2. use ln -sf instead of cp -f.
Of course, for that to work, you HAVE to rm -f both files in the
clean target, and do the ln -sf before you call configure.
Anyway, whatever you do, you are to keep these files up-to-date.
See the autotools-dev readme file.
