You betcha!

Hint: Offer your help without mentioning CDBS.

Especially in cases like this, in which the package is easily fixed 
with either a refreshed patch or one additional line (i.e. autoconf 
build/generic/configure.in -o build/generic/configure) in the current 
debian/rules file.

Silly comments, he? Have you ever considered that it may sound 
insulting for a package maintainer if you repeatedly suggest to 
convert their current debian/rules implementation to something 
different, just because you like it better?

Yes, please. ;)
