It's doing this:
dh_autoreconf -v
        find ! -ipath "./debian/*" -a ! \( -path '*/.git/*' -o -path '*/.hg/*' -o -path '*/.bzr/
*' -o -path '*/.svn/*' -o -path '*/CVS/*' \) -a  -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > debian/autoreconf.
before
        autoreconf -f -i
        find ! -ipath "./debian/*" -a ! \( -path '*/.git/*' -o -path '*/.hg/*' -o -path '*/.bzr/
*' -o -path '*/.svn/*' -o -path '*/CVS/*' \) -a  -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > debian/autoreconf.
after

and 
$ autoreconf -f -i -v
gives:
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using aclocal
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --force
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Automake
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'

So it really is just doing the autoconf/header updates, not the
automake/gettext/libtool updates. So that explains the failure to
update sub and guess. I'm not sure if it's _right_ because there is a
Makefile.in at the top level, which by my understanding means automake
is in use and corresponding updates should occur.

No Makefile is created at this point. And yet the package builds. I'd
have to investigate further to find out if this is deliberately
slightly unusual autotools usage or if something is just wrong.

I haven't uploaded yet, so leave it with you. Thanks for the quick response.
