It is. The "should" about debconf use for user input is the only non trivial thing that changed. > > > > W: ocaml source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config/gnu/config.guess > > > 2001-06-25 > > > W: ocaml source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config/gnu/config.sub > > > 2001-06-08 > > > > Maybe you can consider using in debian/rules a system for > > automagically replace upstream-provided config.{guess|sub} files by > > more up-to-date ones which come with autotools-dev. > > I don't like this, it messes up the .diff.gz file with lot of useless > config* stuff. What is the best way to handling this ? Having upstream update their files more often, maybe .. :-) As far as I have understood, having up-to-date files is important for porting issues, mostly on exotic architectures. I learned about this when I got FTBFS'ed because one of my package did not build anymore on ARM, IA64 or whatever.....
