To clarify: that should work as-is in bootstrap_epilogue, but probably not in autogen.sh. In the latter you'd need something like the sed snippet from bootstrap that computes $package. Ideally, there would be a way to hook into gnulib-tool itself do this, so the module file would be self-contained, rather than having to recommend adding an additional manual bit off in another file like bootstrap.conf
