We use dh-autoreconf to regenerate the autotool files and update
config.{sub,guess}. The man page says that dh-autoreconf and
autotools_dev shouldn't be used in conjunction. The problem is that
"autoreconf -f -i" does not update the config.{sub,guess} files and I
haven't found out why. Help is appreciated.
