--- Comment #14 from Yaakov Selkowitz yselkowi@redhat.com --- The comments in that ticket make clear that no guidelines have been set wrt autoreconf, and that attempting to do so would involve much debate. There are many packages which go one way or the other, so there is clearly no consensus. As such, neither way can be viewed as incorrect.
