dh-autoreconf provides a debhelper sequence addon named 'autoreconf' and two commands, dh_autoreconf and dh_autoreconf_clean. . The dh_autoreconf command creates a list of the files and their checksums, calls autoreconf and then creates a second list for the new files. . The dh_autoreconf_clean command compares these two lists and removes all files which have been added or changed (files may be excluded if needed). . For CDBS users, a rule is provided to call the dh-autoreconf programs at the right time.
