That macro disables automated updates when configure.ac or a Makefile.am
changes. Normally those updates are wanted because users typically
forget running ./autogen.sh.
See also the GNU documentation why AM_MAINTAINER_MODE should not be used:

This fixes commit 2794410c9b.

Those files can be built by doc/generate_manpages.sh.
The manpages are needed for the installation,
so add Makefile rules for them.
Git must ignore the generated manpages.

since it works, albeit with an error message. My practice packages appear
to work fine.
