Upstream or ./debian/changelog; probably installed by dh_installdocs,
perhaps influenced by ./debian/docs. Did you try exporting
DH_VERBOSE=1?

Read /u/s/d/autotools-dev/. Copying new versions of those files fixes
bugs and allows building on newly-supported architectures.

The alternative to copying it in the clean target is to copy (or link)
it in the configure (or build) target, and remove it in the clean
target, which causes the .diff.gz to be shorter, more readable, and
more source-like.
