I suggest your checking of debian/rules to see what it actually does.
See also autotools-dev's README.Debian.

I could have stripped these parts from the diff, but they would be added
anyway, so what's your point? Playing around with config.* backups is
what I call “ugly”. And since the maintainer isn't using any patch
management system, I'm not going to introduce once just some slight
modifications to config.{guess,sub}. (I might have done so for a several
kB config.* update, though, but we're far from here.)

Cheers,
