Debian is using this to make URL with tagged release, and with the old
URL it does return an empty page.
$ apt info util-linux | grep -i version
Version: 2.35.1-2
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/util-linux/changelog.gz
See version control history.

The change will cause make dist to have INSTALL file from
automake release, which hopefully is more up to date than
manually maintained version.
The gnu option will also require ChangeLog to be present, and
without doubts no-one wants to maintain that manually. I added
file to reference link to internet git repository view.
At the time of make dist current tag is added to the ChangeLog
reference which will make release to point exactly to the point
where changes ended. Minor drawback is that untagged make dist
releases will contain a broken link in ChangeLog.
