If you ship package.m4, then it should not depend on config.status or Makefile (the manual shows an example where it depends on configure.ac only.)
Indeed. In fact the fix was trivial:
diff --git a/tests/Makefile.am b/tests/Makefile.am
index 0532b4b..fdf7dfc 100644
--- a/tests/Makefile.am
+++ b/tests/Makefile.am

AUTOTEST = $(AUTOM4TE) --language=autotest

+$(TESTSUITE): $(srcdir)/package.m4.in $(srcdir)/testsuite.at
$(AUTOTEST) -I '$(srcdir)' $@.at -o $@.tmp
mv $@.tmp $@
so my guess is that it's related to the fact that I chose to generate`package.m4' with config.status (it's an AC_CONFIG_FILES) instead of havingit depend on `Makefile' as shown in the Autoconf manual.I don't see where you read that.
Hmm... It's in autoconf itself that package.m4 depends on Makefile. Probably not a good idea. I must have done too much copying/pasting.
