Title:
  udev build after source -sa build fails due to missing configure
  target

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If you do a source-with-tarball udev build then all subsequent builds
  will fail because the configure file has been removed and there is no
  configure: target to remake it

  apt-get source udev
  cd udev-175
  dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa
  dpkg-buildpackage -B

  results in 
   debian/rules build
  make: *** No rule to make target `configure', needed by `build-deb/config.status'.  Stop.

  The source is shipped with a configure file but there is no configure: target, only a 
  # Configure the package                                                                                                                                        
  debian/autoreconf.after:                                                                                                                                       
          dh_autoreconf

  Interestingly, if you do a dpkg-builpackage -S before the -B then it's
  fine. Something about -sa makes it remove the various autogenerated
  files.

  Adding this seems to fix it:
  configure: debian/autoreconf.after

  but maybe that always runs dh_autoreconf and it didn't before? I don;t
  fully grok how this stuff interacts.
