If you reautotoolize at build time, I believe automake does depend on
autotools-dev and gives you updated files. You don't necessarily have to
build-depend on autotools-dev.
And pure autoconf doesn't need config.sub/guess. I don't recall if it can
even use them, or if you need macros that come with automake for that
though.
