Can you add a target to ‘debian/rules’ that will invoke ‘autoreconf’, as
a pre-requisite for the ‘override_dh_build’ target?

I don't use a loop, but rather a pattern-matching target and a Makefile
substitution variable to generate targets for all the supported Python
versions. It amounts to the same result, but is not “a loop”.

> But is it really necessary?

In the absence of Pybuild, yes I've found that explicitly making
separate targets for each supported Python version is necessary. This is
one of the main benefits of migrating to Pybuild.

My suggestion: work hard to get the package to provide what Pybuild
needs, and let Pybuild do its job from there.
