True, but it violates the rpm build requirements. If autogen must be run, then automake must be installed, which makes it a build requirement. We don't want to add unneccessary build requirements. Installing automake drags in all kind of stuff on redhat based systems. Most end users won't want or need that. Much easier to just change this at relase time. The change doesn't even need to be in svn.
If you want the svn source to be as close to release as "no change", I'd rather comment that line out of svn and add a note to the README.redhat on how to change that when building from svn.
