One interesting alternative method, if your package already
Build-Depends upon autotools-dev anyway, is to copy in
config.{sub,guess} in the configure target of debian/rules (before
running ./configure), and REMOVE them in the clean target. This has the
advantage that the changes to config.{sub,guess} don't go into the diff
-- dpkg-buildpackage ignores the deletion of those files when it creates
the diff.gz.
