You do this: invoke ./configure so that Makefile gets generated. Then,
if you'd invoke `make`, you'd see how autotools get rerun. So, you run
`make -d` instead, catch its output, and find out why they're being
rerun. Then you put the appropriate touch statement in debian/rules,
clean, and rebuilt. Rinse, repeat.
Alternatively, you can look in the docs the interdependencies between
autotools files, and touch them in the correct order.
