Well, I beg to differ. Its important to have current config.{sub,guess}
to ensure, that the package builds on the latest debian ports (e.g.
kfreebsd), and sometimes.. if the files are really outdated, its even
essential to be buildable on !i386.
Second, to build-depend on autotools-dev and importing them via the
clean-target into the diff.gz. is the usual way to handle this.
