a) This kind of changes is inappropriate within a release series.
b) You don't seem to be aware about the harmfulness of this change of
yours.

Let me elaborate. previously it was possible to do something of this kind:

if FEATURE0
mystatedir = $(pkglocalstatedir)
mystate_DATA =

if FEATURE01
mystate_DATA += xxx
endif
if FEATURE02
mystate_DATA += yyy
endif
endif

Now you are forcing devs to manually add rules to achieve the same effect. Worse, if automake on packags which have not been manually added such manually written rules, these package end up broken (e.g with build errors in Linux distro-buildsystems).
