The README also says (maybe that was added after this bug report): "The best way to get the updated files into the package is to remove all auto-generated files in the clean target, and to use autoreconf and related commands to regenerate the build system at build time"
In this case, config.guess and config.sub will be regenerated anyway. Doesn't this completely remove the need of doing this copy/link? (the files are linked in the 'rules' file given in example) Then (sorry if this is a bit outside of the scope of the original bug report): "When updating auto-generated files, always remove them all in the clean target, and recreate them in a prerequisite of the build targets. Do not autoreconf or freshen config.sub and config.guess on the clean target, as this would cause a lot of useless cruft to migrate to the Debian diff, and can break the new quilt-like dpkg source format." But in the 'rules' file given in example, the 'configure' target which is executing autoreconf is also a prerequisite of the 'clean' target. ? Am I missing something or ...
