Somehow a git (tarball?[1]) checkout of Autoconf sometimes manages to get a version of UNKNOWN into its .version file. Presumably that is on systems without git installed (or listed as dependency).

True.
Maybe store in git a file containing at least the latest stable release number, so we can fall back to something like 2.65-dirty rather than UNKNOWN?
You can get it from sed -e '/.*changes in Autoconf \([^( ]*\) ([^?].*/!d;s//\1/;q' NEWS Paolo
