I suggest:

  1. check that the file name is "configure" or "Makefile.in"
  2. and search for "[Gg]enerated by (automake|GNU Autoconf)"
  3. If (1) and (2) match, consider it to be a generated file

pre-inst-env doesn't match this, so no false positive in this case.

Just searching for "generated" is indeed too general a search string.
