Severity: normal

The code in debian/rules that's apparently supposed to update
config.guess and config.sub doesn't work properly, because it fails if
those files already exist. You can see this by looking in a build log:
ln -s /usr/share/misc/config.sub . || true
ln: failed to create symbolic link `./config.sub': File exists
ln -s /usr/share/misc/config.guess . || true
ln: failed to create symbolic link `./config.guess': File exists
As a result, the current libpaper package is unbuildable on arm64, which
is newer than the config.guess/config.sub shipped in the source package.
The following trivial patch would ease porting. (A less minimal version
would, and IMO nowadays should, involve switching from this hand-rolled
code to dh-autoreconf; but that would probably involve fixing #496126
too.)
* Fix get_misc_file rule so that config.guess and config.sub are actually
updated.
