Package: gri
Version: 2.12.10-6
Severity: wishlist

The config.* files your packages uses to determine the host system are
quite old.  For example, it doesn't recognize mips64.  While this is
not a problem right now since we don't have such a Debian port, your
config.* files are also too old to recognize a number of other systems
- ports people are currently working on, such as powerpc64 and
GNU/k*BSD.  Therefore, please update your config.* files.  The
autotools-dev contains good information how to do that.

I realize that you claim to have done this recently:
 gri (2.12.9-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Bug fix: "gri(GNU/k*BSD): FTBFS: out of date config.sub/config.guess",
     thanks to Petr Salinger (Closes: #342414).

However, the date below clearly indicated that config.* is not very
new, so I guess your change got lost in 2.12.10.  Pleasae ask upstream
to upgrade config.* too.
