Yeah. Having both in the README would have helped me. :)

Sure, I said so in my email too. :)

Why not just leave DISTSETUPOPTS used but empty in Makefile.am? It
would allow us to use
make install DISTSETUPOPTS=--install-layout=deb
when installing the debian package.
I might find time to look at platform.m4 too eventually, but hope
someone more familiar with sssd find time to implement this.
BTW: Detecting a Debian derivative can be done by looking for
/etc/debian_version, btw. :)

I'm now subscribed via gmane. :)
Happy hacking,
