To clarify: that should work as-is in bootstrap_epilogue,
but probably not in autogen.sh.  In the latter you'd
need something like the sed snippet from bootstrap
that computes $package.

Ideally, there would be a way to hook into gnulib-tool itself do
this, so the module file would be self-contained, rather than
having to recommend adding an additional manual bit off in another
file like bootstrap.conf
