Automake supports a simple include syntax so you could add a single 
line in each top Makefile.am to include your extension.  For example:

  include /usr/local/share/debian/automake/dist/dist-git.am

    or

  include dist-git.am

I have not verified if referencing a file outside of the source tree 
really works properly.
