According to Ralf Wildenhues on 12/10/2008 1:42 PM:

I'd vote for the latter.  At least coreutils, m4, and autoconf use the
gnumakefile but not maintainer-makefile from gnulib (mainly because there
is a lot of merging that has to be done to bring the maint.mk back into a
common state).  Should I work up a documentation patch along those lines?
