I'm not sure what your use case is.
There can be missing files if you're updating automake.
In my case, upstream had packged with automake 1.4 and I was running
automake 1.10. The package was missing the script "depcomp". I
needed to add a simple rule to work around this:
# This is a work-around to the cdbs defect (#439747) that it cannot
# specify --add-missing in the automake invocation.
#
post-patches::
automake-1.10 --add-missing --copy || true
