I have made the debian/rules clean target remove these files for now.
It seems to have the desired effect of not getting them into the diff.

config.guess and config.sub are not used, but to quote from the
autotool developers guide
"GNU autotools need the config.sub (and sometimes config.guess) file
when the AC_CANONICAL_HOST, AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM macros are used, and
also when libtool is in use. It might need them in other
circunstances, so don't hold your breath."
metacity-setup doesn't seem to use these at all, so I will hold my
breath for the time being lest anyone tells me I'm breaching policy.
I've updated the 0.6.1-2 .debs on my site
(http://www.wienand.org/debian/metacity-setup). Thanks to Colin and
Bastien for helping!
