dpatch on Makefile.in?

[Magnus Therning]

Should a distribution specific patch modify Makefile.in or Makefile.am?

My personal preference would be modify Makefile.am instead and have a
specific patch (e.g. 99_autoreconf) that is applied as the very last
one. Any changes would require updating 99_autoreconf, but that's easy:

 $ dpatch-edit-patch 99_autoreconf <the last real patch>
 $ autoreconf

Anyone with any comments on this?
