Hi Matthias,

In debian/rules, I call:

%:
dh $@ --with autoreconf

override_dh_autoreconf:
    NOCONFIGURE=1 dh_autoreconf $(CURDIR)/autogen.sh

as I need to force an update of aclocal.m4 (see BTS #689373). I can
confirm that this does not also update config.{guess,sub} and that
using autotools_dev does. Unfortunately, autotools_dev doesn't seem to
update of aclocal.m4. man autoreconf says:

       dh_autoreconf is a superset of the autotools-dev debhelper
addons, so you do not need --with=autotools_dev if you use
--with=autoreconf. In fact, in
       most cases they should not be used together, as it may lead to
unpredictable behaviour.

So if you have any advice on how to proceed before I go and do this
all by hand the old school way, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
