Well... I seen some strange behavior when tried to use autohell
So I use plain Makefile in my not-yet-uploaded-into-Debian package.
If you want to get rid of it, I'd recommend you remove it completely
from git, rename auto* to common name (for now Makefile called
GNUmakefile or something like that) and remove from git any
autogenerated files.
So can I do auto*/configure/make, than make distclean and there will
be no *changed* files (if there are any *new* files - it's Ok).
Otherwise package maintainers have some headache in writing correct
build scripts.
