Thanks

The changelog for version 765272 claims

 * debian/rules:
   - call xdt-autogen before running configure to regenerate
config.{guess,sub} and gain support for new architectures closes: #765272

However the package still FTBFS on arm64 and when I debdiff against the previous version I see no evidence that the change mentioned in the changelog was actually made.

Since we are now post-freeze bugs should be fixed in a minimal way and as such adding an autoreconf at this point would be frowned upon. As such for jessie I propose using the autotools_dev feature in dh to update config.sub and config.guess without autoreconfing.

While xfce4-notes-plugin has not been built on arm64 xfce4-goodies has and it's currently uninstable due to this package being missing, so we would really like to get this fixed.

A debdiff is attatched. If there is no maintainer response within a reasonable time a NMU is likely to follow.
