A tarball generated by ‘make dist’ (like most tarballs of GNU packages) already has a ‘configure’ script and Makefile templates; thus it doesn’t depend on Autoconf, Automake, etc. However, this package recipe explicitly adds Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool as inputs, plus it runs ‘autoreconf’. So I suspect this is because upstream’s tarball isn’t self-contained, right? Ludo’.
