Bug#851140: FTBFS? clcean target fails with autoconfig foo

[Jonathan Dowland]

Package: src:chocolate-doom
Version: 2.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Hey, I'm sorry, I really hope this is me doing something stupid, but something around
the autotools magic in the clean target seems to have broken the package build.  This
is in my sid build container, freshly updated:
