Please also have a look at https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf
Now, the cases where autotools-dev *and* autoreconf are needed are/were
pretty rare.
Furthermore consider that since the last debhelper release
config.{sub,guess} are automatically updated before the build by
dh_update_autotools_config(1), so I believe calling autotools-dev
manually now is more useless than ever.

IOW: it's probably better/cleaner to just remove --with autotools-dev.
