Package: lintian
Version: 1.22.8.1
Severity: normal

Hi Joy,

The "outdated-autotools-helper-file config.{guess,sub}" warning is
invalid for packages built using CDBS as it will update those files
during the build when autotools.mk is invoked. To avoid bloating the
diff, CDBS will restore the original & outdated files before generating
the diff.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau

The original bug requested that lintian not complain about outdated
config.{sub,guess} if the package uses cdbs since cdbs updates them at
build time.

cdbs doesn't depend on autotools-dev, only recommends it, so in order to
be assured of being able to update these files at build-time, the
maintainer would have to add a build-dependency on autotools-dev.  lintian
already suppresses this tag if such a build-dependency is present.  So
this bug has already been fixed.
