I don't think there are other occurrences of this, because ncurses is the
only source where I maintain more than one configure.in
fwiw, there are more than 7 package-sources in Debian which could use
"autoreconf-dickey", though I haven't checked which actually do this.
Offhand, 14:
add (tapecalc), bcpp, byacc, cdk, cproto, dialog, diffstat, luit,
lynx, mawk, ncurses, vile, vttest, xterm.
In that description of autoreconf, I'm using only the first step.
The others are unused, and as an improvement can simply be trimmed out :-)
