Yeah.  Some upstreams know what they're doing with autotools, some
don't; and some try harder than others to make their configure.ac code
bulletproof enough to be portable across different autoconf versions.
In the end, this has to be a case-by-case decision, not something to be
mandated by distro-wide policy.
