Hello,

upstream's custom build system invokes autoheader on "make distclean":
|distclean       :       realclean
|        @ $(MAKE) configure
|        @ $(MAKE) autoconfig.h.in

I think the proper way to fix this is to tell dh_auto_clean to avoid this:

diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index e41e1ab..661bb0e 100755
--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules

 override_dh_installdocs: debian/jpeg.1
                dh_installdocs

+override_dh_auto_clean:
+       $(MAKE) realclean
+
 override_dh_auto_install-arch:
        # nothing since I cannot get DESTDIR to work
