Dear Maintainer,

The latest upload of dvbcut fails to build on ppc64el. This is due to
the switch from dh_auto_configure to the direct call to the configure
script.

According to the changelog it has been done to fix the hardening-no-relro
issue reported by lintian. The correct solution for that is to bump the
debhelper compatibility to 9, so that CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS are
passed to the configure script (see the manpage for more details). With
this compatibility level you can also get rid of the manual calls to 
dpkg-buildflags.

You will find attached a patch fixing that. It also gets rid of the now
out-of-date copy of debian/config.{guess,sub}, and get it updated through
autotools-dev.

Finally it's not included in the patch, but note that you can enable
parallel building by passing --parallel to dh. You can then set 
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to parallel=X to control the number of CPU to use.

Thanks,
Aurelien
