From where did you get that rule? It doesn't go very well with the fact that automake by default adds Makefile.am, configure.ac and other .m4 files to the tarball. Those files will never be useful for a pure ./configure; make; make install, but as soon as you wanna fix a bug or just modify the package you'll be happy those files are around.If you want to modify files in automake, then you are doing development, rather than just installing the software. Given that automake requires itself, there may be special things to do. In any case, nothing should be added to the tarball that isn't required for installation.
