I suggest your checking of debian/rules to see what it actually does. See also autotools-dev's README.Debian. I could have stripped these parts from the diff, but they would be added anyway, so what's your point? Playing around with config.* backups is what I call “ugly”. And since the maintainer isn't using any patch management system, I'm not going to introduce once just some slight modifications to config.{guess,sub}. (I might have done so for a several kB config.* update, though, but we're far from here.) Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
