   thank you for working on this issue. I fear we are not done yet.   
      
   You correctly identified that mp3splt has several configure scripts and   
   needs to be autoreconf'ed several times. Unfortunately, this is not how   
   dh_autoreconf works. In the build log, you see:   
      
   | dh_autoreconf: warning: Only runs once, see dh-autoreconf(7)   
      
   The mp3splt directory is the first to be regenerated and correctly fixes   
   the original issue about AC_CHECK_FILE now. Later directories such as   
   mp3splt-gtk are skipped due to the dh_autoreconf semantics at hand.   
   Hence, the original problem persists there.   
      
   The suggested workaround is to create a script that runs all the   
   autoreconf things. Its name often includes "autogen" (e.g.   
   debian/autogen.sh). Then make dh_autoreconf call that autogen in an   
   override_dh_autoreconf.
