Sorry. Ok. > I read that, and I know what "automatically updated with yacc" means, > thank you.

Usually there is no need to run yacc while building the package: upstream maintainers provide tarball together with yacc-generated stuff. In this case, I did same. I hope, this is clear. Technically, it's possible to add a build-dependency on yacc (instead of changing src/y.tab.c etc), not sure if this is ok for stable upload.
