I propose the following patch for autotools-dev; however, I would like to
get comments from the BSD folks, before filing a wishlist bug+patch. I'll
give it a few days, and if nobody strenuously objects, I'll file it in the
hopes that packages will pick it up soon.
I have attached the patch to this message; hopefully it should go through.

Package: autotools-dev
Version: 20020621.1
Patch: 001_config_netbsd (config.{guess,sub} support for Debian/NetBSD)
Author: Joel Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Submitted: No
This patch adds support for the Debian/NetBSD family, using a release value
of '-debian' rather than an OS version; this field is suffixed to the OS
output, resulting in an OS of 'netbsdelf-debian'. It should be applied
against an unpacked autotools-dev directory, using -p1.
