I don't think we want to reconsider it for now. But if people can
arrange Emacs's build so that it doesn't require a pre-build configure
and yet is still easy to install under something like Debian stable,
I could change my mind. It might even be a good change if it can help
users figure out which packages need to be installed (autotools, header
files, ...).

Yes.
