Interesting.

I think this may be an autoconf2.71 problem or a dh problem

Debugging the generated configure script, I see that it tries to look in 
the wrong place for the "autoconf/" directory when searching for the 
auxiliary files:

+ case $as_dir in
+ as_dir=/autoconf/
+ as_found=:
+ printf '%s\n' 'configure:3618:  trying /autoconf/'
+ ac_aux_dir_found=yes
+ ac_install_sh=
+ for ac_aux in $ac_aux_files
+ test xconfig.rpath = xinstall-sh
+ test -f /autoconf/config.rpath
+ ac_aux_dir_found=no
+ :

Obviously, "/autoconf/config.rpath" cannot exist.

Looking at the code in the generated configure script:

 3595 # Locations in which to look for auxiliary files.
 3596 ac_aux_dir_candidates="${BUILD_DIR}/autoconf"

it looks like $BUILD_DIR is empty, and when looking at the trace again, it 
sure is:

+ ac_aux_dir_candidates=/autoconf

Comparing the old (supplied with the source) configure script and the 
newly autoreconf'd one, it looks like BUILD_DIR is defined too late.

The old one has this

 3159 BUILD_DIR=`pwd`
 3160 cd ..
 3161 TOP_DIR=`pwd`
 3162 cd ${BUILD_DIR}

and only after that is BUILD_DIR used.

The new one uses BUILD_DIR earlier

 3595 # Locations in which to look for auxiliary files.
 3596 ac_aux_dir_candidates="${BUILD_DIR}/autoconf"

and the defintion is later

 3760 BUILD_DIR=`pwd`
 3761 cd ..
 3762 TOP_DIR=`pwd`
 3763 cd ${BUILD_DIR}

When I manually copy that code block above line 3596 then the configure 
script starts to work again.

BUILD_DIR comes from autoconf/configure.in:

  13 BUILD_DIR=`pwd`
  14 cd ..
  15 TOP_DIR=`pwd`
  16 cd ${BUILD_DIR}
  17 AC_SUBST(BUILD_DIR)
  18 AC_SUBST(TOP_DIR)
  19 AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(${BUILD_DIR}/autoconf)

As seen here, it is defined before being used. Why autoconf2.71 seems to 
reorder the generated code here I cannot say.

To me this looks like a regression in autoconf.

Sven.
