I've come across two source archives that I'd like to package, that
have these characteristics:
1. The source archive contains CVS subdirectories.
Should I remove these before building? Does it matter?
2. The source archive does not come with a Makefile, only a
Makefile.in; autoconf must be run before make.
Is autoconf assumed present for building? Do I need to do anything
special? None of the packages I've seen seem to call autoconf in the
build target of debian/rules. In that case, I see two possibilities:
let the diff show the autoconf-generated Makefile.in, or call autoconf
explicitly in the original archive, first, and have it _not_ show up
in the diff. Either way is a bit confusing. Is there some policy
about this?
