Not quite. Lintian has a list of packages that can be used for updating
config.{sub,guess} (see data/cruft/autotools), and it optimistically
assumes that if you have any of these in Build-Depends, then your
d/rules takes care of updating the files.

Don't you need to put automake in Build-Depends to be able to use
xdt-autogen? That should be enough to satisfy Lintian.
