Hi, An update to this: * dh (since 9.20160115) automatically updates all instances of config.sub and config.guess to the version in autotools-dev - This is done via a new helper called dh_update_autotools_config. * Therefore updating config.sub and config.guess based on the contents of autotools-dev can presumably now be considered "common practise". As for the wording: * I second the wording proposed by Bill in message #55 with or without Charles's suggestion to add/use "at build time" (preferring "with") Thanks, ~Niels
