No strong opinion on this. The thing is that as time goes, the
autotools infrastructure may make more and more assumptions on the fact
that the build system is actually autotools-based. So maybe such
packages might break in the future, so technically, GENTARGETS would be
a better fit. But as you said, this will involve quite a bit of
redundancy. Hard to say what the right (tm) solution is.
An intermediate solution is to add a comment above ED_CONF_OPT to
explain why it's done, so that if ed build breaks in the future, we're
warned that the AUTOTARGETS infrastructure has been abused by this
package.
Regards,
Thomas
