 run ./configure by hand, instead of bothering with using dh_auto_configure.
 And if necessary, you can add commands to run automake, etc here too.

 Here's how to skip two automated in a row (configure and build), and
 instead run the commands by hand.
 
-	build:
+	build: build-stamp
+	build-stamp:
 		dh build --before configure
 		./mondoconfig
 		make universe-explode-in-delight
 		dh build --after build

 Another common case is wanting to run some code manually after a particular
 debhelper command is run.
 
-	install: build
+	install: build install-stamp
+	install-stamp:
 		dh install --until dh_fixperms
 		# dh_fixperms has run, now override it for one program
 		chmod 4755 debian/foo/usr/bin/foo
 		# and continue
 		dh install --after dh_fixperms
+		touch install-stamp
 
 It's also fine to run debhelper commands early. Just make sure that at
 least dh_prep is run from the sequence first, and be sure to use the
 B<--remaining> option to ensure that commands that normally come before
 those in the sequence are still run.
