Cian,
my original comment still stands.

Arjen,
you may be confusing running "autoreconf" with running "./configure".
The tarballs I mentioned are mostly equivalent to what Arnaud creates
at release time, except that they have a slightly different format for
the version number (so that we can tell which SVN revision they came
from).
If a specific buildslave machine doesn't have a package needed for
some aspect of NUT (e.g. HAL, SNMP, SSL), the only side effect is that
it will not test that feature in 'make check' - but it should still
create a configure script that will detect the features properly on
other machines.
