I think you're still missing the reason why it has to be done this
way. We need to ensure that we are only overriding the option for
distcheck. The only reliable thing automake gives us for this
situation is DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS. If we make guesses in
configure about what the situation is, we'll probably get it wrong. If
you don't want to expose the configure option to the user, just don't
add any help text to it.

If you can think of another way, let me know. I haven't found one.
