Thanks for picking it up and improving it. I'm quite sure that
none of your changes will affect debian/debhelper builds.

(If I find something when I find time to test it properly I'll
report back.)

The important point for debhelpers point of view is that
./configure --runstatedir is used instead of
./configure --localstatedir (and the upstream AS_CASE/AS_IF
doesn't apply here since debhelper will pass both of those
configure flags explicitly.)

Please note clearly in the upcoming release notes than anyone
explicitly using the --localstatedir flag will need to move
over to --runstatedir (or accept/rely on util-linux defaults).

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
