How about
* build-depend on autotools-dev
* move the upstream config.guess and config.sub to
config.{guess,sub}.upstream in the configure target
* copy the guess/sub from the autotools-dev location into the
build tree, again in the configure target
* if the *upstream files exist; move them back over sub/guess in
the clean target
That way you don't modify the orig tarball; you're guaranteed to have an
appropriate and up-to-date sub/guess; the unpacked source is back to
pristine upstream after the make clean target, which is particularly
nice if you have your tree in a VCS and don't want to keep filtering the
sub/guess changes out of commits.
