Personally I think using touch is very high cost, as it seems quite fragile and may easily result in a broken compile (that is, some things may be forgotten or so). And I may be becoming repetitive, but I still haven't heard any reason why running autoconf/automake from debian/rules would be bad. Obviously you need to depend on the correct version and explicitly call it (Depends: automake1.9 ; export AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9), but I don't see a problem in that either. Many problems solve themselves when you compile from source instead of using pre-built files. That is true for executables, it is true for Makefile.in and configure as well.
