	After further testing, it seems like it is impossible to
prevent the autoconf files from being regenerated at all without
editing the configure script itself. Even pbuilder itself reruns the
auto-tools before entering a chroot that does not have auto-tools in
the Build-depends. I don't feel that I should be making unnecessary
changes to the configure script in any case to disable this behaviour,
and I don't feel that removing the config.[guess|sub] changes by hand
from the diff.gz is the way to go either since the build process
itself is updating the outdated files in the first place and it's not
doing any harm. So have you uploaded cupsys-pt_1.0.2-1 yet? I haven't
received any automated messages from master yet. Thanks.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
