Actually we do have folks who work mostly on porting issues. But with
thousands of packages any only a (much) smaller number of porters, we
can only do so much so fast...

tausq@paer:~/tmp$ cp /usr/share/automake/config.{sub,guess} .
tausq@paer:~/tmp$ ./config.guess
hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
tausq@paer:~/tmp$ ./config.sub hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
I suspect your config.{sub,guess} are still too old... where did you get

http://people.debian.org/~willy/common_bugs.html is a good place to look
